engaging & empowering citizens for a sustainable future
Life Skill Based Education (LSBE):
The Life Skill Based Education (LSBE) Programme is specifically designed for adolescents to help them deal with social, political, psychological and physiological changes taking place in their lives. The main objective of the programme is to sensitize these adolescents about their sexual & reproduction health rights (SRHR). For this project, the target areas are government schools in rural to semi urban localities in district Nowshera. It is highly unlikely that adolescent in these areas get an opportunity to discuss their issues or concerns freely in their homes and schools.
The LSBE programe has been very consciously introduced in the district bearing in mind the conservative social environment and rigid cultural norms prevailing in the area so that knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to make culturally appropriate safe choices about sexuality by adapting responsible behaviors can be provided.
The programme is implemented in 20 government high schools in district Nowshera with technical support from World Population Foundation (WPF). Peace Education and Development (PEAD) Foundation is one of the partners to implement and take forward this programme in the district Nowshera in 20 Government Schools. The programming is directly reaching out to nearly 4000 young boys and girls in the district.
