Background and History of AYAN

AYAN Kenya is a non-governmental organization that was established in 2013 with the view of involving young people in participation and contribution towards an enabling environment that will foster the empowerment of adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health and rights. Experience soon showed that carrying out this work required dealing with a number of factors not directly provided for in our yearly implementation plan but which nevertheless related to and impacted our work. In response AYAN Kenya adopted a holistic approach, advocating for the promotion and protection of health rights while still maintaining a focus on youth, women, girls and SGM.
