| Innovation Title | Dial a condom |
| Focus Area | Promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), including maternal health |
| Problem Statement: | Teen pregnancy and rape cases alongside difilements have been on rise and we gave out a secret toll line that those in Community use whenever they want to copulate and lack condoms,so they call and immediately link them to our youth Community agents and their problems get sorted.Equally this is done to the ladies and even adviced to have the female condoms in the sexual risk areas. This fights new HIV infections and Unwanted or even teen pregnancy as far as Sexual reproductive health and rights are concerned |
| Innovation Description: | This strategy works in essence that after clients dialing the number we we share with them in our community inreaches and outreaches,in schools,in churches and in local radio shows, they call; at a free cost then to our community agents who are close to these people are linked with them and the work is made easier. Nonetheless, through our community health promoters,we get to educate the community Community about the importance of condoms as far as family planning is concerned. So far there has been a positive response from those that have used the idea and even to those that got the information from the chain link of this people,it's really encouraging them because their "sexual reproductive health safeties are just a call away from them." |
| Uniqueness and Innovation: | It's unique because,the services are a call away from the clients and it's free to call. It's simple to use,for our agents are everywhere in the community to reach the without phones. |
| Impact and Scalability: | It has reduced new HIV cases incidents; This has been achieved through appropriate instructions given to the clients during our daily activities. Teen pregnancy / unintended pregnancies have been curtailed after the effective use educations are conducted and through chain link passed to generations,and the ease to reach our agents has reduced the risks as far as Sexual reproductive health is concerned. Linkage to police network has also impacted the community as for the risky areas have been monitored closely to ensure that no defilement is done.This despite of it reducing pregnancy incidents,it has also combated the sexually gender based violence |
| Implementation Plan: | It started at the community level and the organization implemented this after at the ward level through our advisory boards and Community health promoters and at the Subcounty level through the MOH and all the stakeholders at the sub county level. |
