[1] The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) country office in Nigeria supported the production of a television series on adolescent reproductive health.
The title of the series was gotten from a sound track that was produced in Kenya by the music group Kalamashaka and other local artistes with the support of the Kenyan Field Office of UNPFA.
Originally conceived as part of the Composite Adolescent Reproductive Health in Nigeria (CARHIN) project, the television series revolves around the lives, adventures and misadventures of seven secondary school students who encounter the normal challenges of teenagers growing up in a fast changing world, the realities of HIV/AIDS, the tragedy of interrupted education.
This in turn with help reduce their susceptibility to irresponsible and uninformed behavior that often results in teenage pregnancies, illegal and unsafe abortions, and contraction of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS.
It also targeted policy makers who have the ability to provide a favorable environment for adolescents to have access to reproductive health information and services that give them the power of knowledge.
