The future belongs to the youths, the young men and women we call our small brothers and sisters.
For this reason – we, that came before them have every reason to protect and guide them on how to navigate life as young adults.
Well, DKT International has made this possible through their program that aims at expanding contraceptive access to the youths in Kenya and East Africa as a whole.
Through DKT International the youths not only have increased access to contraceptives but have different choices to these various contraceptives i.e Kiss Condoms come in and the new Lydia emergency pills.
However, the goal at the end of the day is to create awareness about contraceptives: and why they are important to the youths especially with the high rate of teen pregnancies, unwanted and risky pregnancies.
For this reason DKT international launched Lydia campus clubs for medical, pharmaceutical, clinical students as a way to learn everything about contraceptives.
Having celebrated World contraceptive day on 25th September, DKT has now launched Lydia – the new girl best friend contraceptive that fits women of all ages.
