Real change happens when policy meets lived experience. From Malawi, the STEP UP 4 Access to SRHR services Model Law is expanding adolescent access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), advancing dignity, choice, and human rights. At Youth Advocates, we drive this impact every day: youth-led models, community engagement, and stronger systems that allow young people to access services, exercise their rights, and secure their futures.
An empowered generation is not a dream. It is in progress, and we are proud to help build it.

Powering Healthy Enterprising Lifestyles in Bulawayo, Sharon is turning what many would discard into something people hold close. Each handbag she creates begins with a story. A dress worn to a graduation. A shirt that carries the memory of a loved one. Through careful stitching and thoughtful design, she reshapes these fabrics into pieces that people can carry with them, not just as fashion but as memory.
What sets her work apart is not only the craft. It is the meaning. Her designs give people a way to keep moments of their lives within reach, woven into something practical and beautiful.
Youth Advocates is supporting Swizim Trust to deliver Self-Design Learning under the youth enterprise graduate model. Sharon has strengthened more than just her technical skills. She has learned how to shape her path, test ideas in the market, and build a business with purpose. The approach is simple but powerful. Solutions are not handed to young people. They design their own, guided by real challenges in their communities.
Today, her work does more than generate income. She is opening space for other young people to learn. In small groups, she shares her process, from selecting fabric to pricing a product. These sessions are not lectures. They are hands-on, practical, and grounded in real experience.
The Youth Enterprise Graduate Model is building more than skills. It is shaping confidence, creativity, and ownership. Sharonโ€™s journey is a reminder that entrepreneurship does not always begin with new resources. Sometimes it starts with what is already there, reimagined with care and intention. In her case, every stitch carries a story forward. Thanks to the generous support of Oak Foundation

Stronger partnerships lead to stronger impact!!!!!

This week, with support from the HIVOS SRHR Fund, we are excited to host an exchange visit from our partner, Stawisha Africa Initiative (Kenya).

This visit will provide a valuable platform for learning, sharing, and growth. Through site visits and practical engagement, partners will gain hands-on experience in programming, governance, and financial management.

This initiative brings together youth-led and youth-focused organizations to learn from what is working, document best practices, and strengthen areas that need improvement. Together, we are building stronger systems, sharing knowledge, and driving impact in SRHR across the region.
