Coral Healthcare empowering Kenyan students through sexual health education workshops

Multinational organisation Coral Healthcare has committed to a partnership with Adelaide-based charity World Youth International to provide hundreds of students within Kenya access to sexual health education workshops.

Kenya experiences many development challenges and a large proportion of the population lives below the poverty line. Over the past decade, teams of Australian health professionals who participate in World Youth International’s Nurses In Action volunteer program have treated over 10,000 patients from remote villages in Kenya and provided health education across the communities.

Aligning with Coral Healthcare’s guiding pillars of Pleasure, Protection and Planning, a group of Nurses In Action recently facilitated Sexual Health Education Workshops for over 200 students within vulnerable communities. The interactive workshops were held at High Schools in western Kenya where Coral Healthcare’s key product ‘Moments Condoms’ premium latex condoms were then distributed to students.

The product distribution was accompanied by an educational session on best practice use and the importance of safe sex and gave the nurses the opportunity to dispel myths that continue to spread in the communities.

Based in Melbourne, Coral Healthcare leverages its industry position in sexual health and wellness to communicate with local leaders and change-makers in various communities.

“We are proud to partner with World Youth International to help make a difference to the health and wellbeing of vulnerable communities within Kenya,” said Coral Healthcare’s Managing Director Nikhil Daftary.

“We are passionate about empowering both men and women everywhere to celebrate and protect their sexual health.”

“World Youth International are grateful for Coral Healthcare’s support,” said World Youth International’s Partnerships Director Gabriella Ocenasek.

World Youth International drive sustainable development projects that improve access to healthcare and education within impoverished communities.
