In July a group of young people, UN officials and government and civil society representatives from Burundi are in Nairobi to visit the Centre for the Study of Adolescence (CSA). This Rutgers partner organisation is implementing the comprehensive sexuality education programme the World Starts with Me (WSWM) in schools in Kenya.

The issues vary from the development of their bodies to pregnancy, contraceptives, HIV and sexual abuse.
