Sexual & Reproductive Health (SRHR)
HDI works hand-in-hand with those most in need to increase access to SRHR information and care. We empower adolescents and youth with comprehensive sexuality education, support women and girls in navigating family planning and legal reproductive healthcare, and mentor healthcare providers across Rwanda.
Centers for Health and Rights
At the heart of HDI's work on SRHR is its Centers for Health and Rights in Kicukiro, Nyamirambo, and Rubavu. These Centers are stigma-free and SRHR-friendly service models established to reach the most vulnerable populations with accurate, confidential, and free healthcare.
Clinical staff are specially trained in medical ethics, confidentiality, and compassionate care to ensure a welcoming environment for all community members.
Adolescent Sexual & Reproductive Health
Our adolescent programming actively supports youth across Rwanda through school dialogues, community clubs, and the 3530 Helpline.
- Leveraging access to accurate information through school visits and digital health media.
- Building youth networks with student associations and community peer educators.
- Empowering adolescent champions to advocate for bodily autonomy and health equity.
