My youth club experience:

I have learned how to use a condom, this has really helped me in a way that if I am sexually active I would know how to use protection.

I have learned about teenage pregnancy and drug addiction. I have also learnt that in order to protect myself teenage pregnancy, one must prevent or use condoms, as well as that drugs are not a solution to ones problems-there are people that you can talk to should you need help.

We are also taught that love is not only between a boyfriend and girlfriend, but between a parents and their children, grandparents and grandchildren and other people you feel connected to.

In FLEP we are taught how to budget, how to use money wisely and how to start our own businesses. We also learned about the different places where one can borrow money-some examples are: banks; mashonisa and stokvels.
