This activity targeted the general population across various communities, aiming to raise awareness about condom usage and distribute condoms, as well as other Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials. The primary goal was to deliver general prevention messages, encouraging positive lifestyle changes and promoting safer sexual practices.
The event took place in the communities of Emeyal I & II, Kolo I, II & III. At Emeyal-I, a total of 30 participants (29 females and a male) were mobilized by the RHF CVs. In Emeyal-II, 27 participants (18 females and 9 males) were also mobilized. In Kolo I, II & III, a combined total of 50 participants, consisting of 18 females and 32 males, were sensitized on the importance of condom use and general sexual health awareness.
The RHF team provided general prevention messages to all participants, who were seated for the informative session. The discussion addressed various aspects of sexual health and condom use, with several participants asking questions to better understand the information presented. The RHF team offered clear and detailed answers, ensuring that the participants grasped key prevention strategies.
A practical demonstration of condom usage was carried out, where a few participants were given the opportunity to practice what they had learned using a model. This hands-on activity helped reinforce the correct method of condom usage, making the learning experience more interactive and engaging. In addition, condoms and lubricants were distributed to the participants to encourage safe sexual practices, providing them with the tools necessary to protect their health.
The activity successfully conveyed vital sexual health information to the community, contributing to raising awareness and encouraging behavior change for better health outcomes.
