Reclaim Your Life (RYL)
Reclaim your Life (RYL) Project is a response to a gap we identified in our previous VOICE project, which is Voices of Freedom Project. During implementation, we were able to create a sustainable platform to engage parents and custodians of school-aged children; however, we discovered that a significant number of them also require assistance with family planning and economic empowerment.
This void presented an opening for an ongoing initiative titled “reclaiming our future.” Through this initiative, we are addressing the needs of these parents and guardians, while simultaneously utilising the platform to engage them in their relationship with their wards.
Reclaim your life (RYL) project seeks to equip community women with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities necessary to reclaim their future, particularly in terms of economic independence and sexual & reproductive health rights. Additionally, we have excellent relationships with primary health care centres in Ikotun, and they have expressed interest in collaborating with us on the family planning initiative.
