The document discusses the plight of orphaned and vulnerable youth in Botswana due to HIV/AIDS. It notes that over 1 in 5 children in Botswana are orphans and many have lost parents to HIV/AIDS. These youth often must take on adult responsibilities like caring for siblings and working to support their families. While the UN and some organizations aim to help with services, more focus is needed on adolescents who have unique needs beyond just basic support. The Stepping Stones International initiative provides after school programs, education, and support to empower youth in Botswana.

Renal transplantation and pregnancy
This document discusses fertility and pregnancy outcomes in kidney transplant recipients. It notes that fertility usually returns within months of transplantation as endocrine function improves. Successful pregnancies are possible if pre-pregnancy renal function is stable, with live birth rates around 73.5% and risks of preeclampsia and preterm delivery elevated compared to the general population. Immunosuppressant use requires careful management due to risks of rejection and fetal exposure. Pregnancy is considered low risk if renal function is optimal and dosing is stable for over 12 months after transplantation.
Contraception's for Adolescents
Adolescents aged 10-19 face significant health risks due to risky behaviors like early sexual activity. Nearly 35% of the global disease burden has its roots in adolescence. In Nepal, adolescents account for 24.19% of the population but lack awareness of sexual and reproductive health. Data shows many girls are married and become mothers during adolescence, and contraceptive use is low. Improving access to and use of contraception for adolescents is key to addressing these health issues.

Findings from the GAGE mixed-methods longitudinal study on intervention outcomes for vulnerable adolescents in Jordan and Palestine.ADOLESCENCE AND ITS PROBLEMS
India has the largest adolescent population in the world at 243 million individuals aged 10-19 years. Adolescence involves rapid physical and psychological development between puberty and legal adulthood. Common problems faced by adolescents in India include misconceptions about physical and sexual changes due to lack of proper guidance from parents and teachers as well as influence of media. Four million adolescent girls in India aged 15-19 give birth each year, putting them at risk for health complications. Efforts are needed from families, schools, and the government to educate adolescents and promote healthy development through this transitional stage.
A CASE OF AGE-APPROPRIATE COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION (AACSE)
A CASE OF AGE-APPROPRIATE COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION (AACSE) National Organization of Peer Educators (NOPE Kenya)
This document discusses the need for age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education (AACSE) for young people in order to address high HIV infection rates. It notes that young people lack information and have misconceptions about sexuality due to declining parental guidance. AACSE can help young people delay sexual activity, reduce risky behavior, and prevent unwanted pregnancy and STIs. However, there are still gaps in access to information and barriers like cultural myths that sexuality education encourages early sex or is inappropriate. The document recommends a multi-sectoral approach to AACSE, strengthening coordination, and incorporating sexuality education into education policies to reverse HIV trends among youth.Children's Plan

Educational achievement is a significant indicator of children’s wellbeing and future life opportunities. It can predict growth potential and economic viability of a country. While this is an ideal situation for all children, the case may be different for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) due to the psychosocial challenges they go through on a daily basis. It is even worse for children attending public primary schools in Kenya. This paper aims to advance a debate on the relationship between psychosocial support and educational support provided for OVC through a critical engagement on the challenges experienced and the intervention measures to be taken in Kenyan public primary schools context. The study is based on the critical review of related literature materials. Findings suggest that, although the Kenyan government has put mechanisms in place to support OVC attain basic education, numerous challenges are found to be hindering some OVC from attaining quality education. Based on the findings, the paper recommends that there is need for various interventions to address psychosocial needs of orphans and children attending primary schools.
Foster Care Essay
The document discusses issues related to children in the foster care system. It notes that the number of children in foster care continues to increase annually with minimal efforts to address the root causes. There are also racial inconsistencies in foster care involvement. When in foster care, children often experience instability and may act out due to the changes in their lives. Maximizing accessibility to foster care resources could help provide more support to foster children, potentially leading to better mental health outcomes. Changes to policies around foster care could also help reduce uncertainty for children and allow for a greater focus on their well-being. Overall, more needs to be done to help the future by improving the foster care system and conditions for children within it.
Teen Pregnancy Powerpoint
This document discusses teen pregnancy rates and factors in the US and around the world. In the US, 1/3 of teenage girls become pregnant, and daughters of teen mothers are more likely to also become teen mothers. African American and Hispanic teenagers have higher pregnancy rates than whites. Globally, 16 million teenagers give birth each year. The top 5 countries for teen pregnancy rates are Niger, Chad, Mozambique, Mali, and Liberia. These countries often have high rates of child marriage and lack of sexual education and healthcare access. The document also discusses resources and programs available to support teen mothers.
Risk factorsComment 1There are several predisposing fact.docx
Risk factors
Comment 1
There are several predisposing factors to adolescent pregnancy. They include a lack of parental guidance. Adolescent sexual behaviour which is promiscuous in nature. Exploitation by older men who lure young girls with money and other material things. Sexual abuse or rape and socio-economic. Inadequate knowledge about protected sexual intercourse. Peer pressure and teenage drinking which impairs the ability to make wise decisions.
Community resources
Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program
- The design focuses on the promotion of safe sexual and reproductive health practices so that there is reduction of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among adolescents through the provision of community outreach, health education and positive youth development
Parenting Teen Program
It focuses on the provision of mothers at risk with the opportunity to get training and guidance on job, parenting and life skills. It also dwells on social, academic and independent living skill development among these mothers.
Pregnancy rates
There has been a steep fall in the teen pregnancy rate. By the year 2011 according to the data that is available, the rate was 62 pregnancies per 1,000 teen girls (age 15-19); some 5,270 teen pregnancies. Therefore the teen pregnancy rate has reduced by 57% since 1988. Since 2008, the teen pregnancy rate has changed by -10%
Commentary on rate
There has been a reduction in the teen pregnancy rate. One of the possible reasons that can be attributed to this reduction is that there is increased utilization of contraception in is Nevada. Research has demonstrated an increase in the contraceptive prevalence rate. This has been achieved through the public health campaigns that raise awareness about teenage pregnancies. There has been provision of free barrier contraceptives to the sexually active demographic.
Comment 2
Adolescent pregnancy is a very risky for both the adolescent and the baby. The body of an adolescent has not fully matured enough to provide and support a growing child, let alone the adolescent as well. The adolescent age is very important and is considered the stage where children learn to explore their sexuality while peer pressure influences their thoughts, behavior, likes and dislikes. The media also influences how adolescents perceive themselves as well as others around them. Girls are more sensitive to social media and lack of parental support, proper education on dangers of drugs, sex and violence can lead to poor health habits that are hard to break as they grow into adults. Based on Center of Disease and Control (CDC) the rate of adolescent pregnancy had decreased by 9% from 2013 to 2014. In California, the rate of adolescent pregnancy ages 15- 19 years of age has decreased to 25.7 % out of every 1,000 females in the past 10 years according to the California Department of Public health. The decrease in adolescent/ teen birth rates is said to be contributed to soci ...

The media also influences how adolescents perceive themselves as well as others around them. Girls are more sensitive to social media and lack of parental support, proper education on dangers of drugs, sex and violence can lead to poor health habits that are hard to break as they grow into adults.

In California, the rate of adolescent pregnancy ages 15- 19 years of age has decreased to 25.7 % out of every 1,000 females in the past 10 years according to the California Department of Public health. The decrease in adolescent/ teen birth rates is said to be contributed to soci ...

Belfer gottlieb maternal and child mental health
- Unique challenges exist for child mental health in Africa due to lack of prioritization, funding, and stigma. Only recently has it become a priority.
- Epidemiological data shows 20% of African children have a diagnosable mental disorder. Depression is occurring earlier and may predict more severe future disorders. Maternal mental health is also a major issue.
- Improving child and adolescent mental health requires policies, trained professionals, community acceptance, and integrated care within overall health systems and schools. Preventive interventions are most cost effective.

OVC Presentation
- 1. Orphaned and Vulnerable Youth Examining the Catastrophe in Botswana
- 4. “ I can’t emphasize strongly enough the extreme emotion turmoil of children orphaned by AIDS. What the world fails to recognize is that these children don’t become orphans when their parents die, they become orphans while their parents are dying, and this is especially true in the death of a mother.” - Stephen Lewis
- 7. “ -that’s what’s happening right across the continent: the transfer of love and knowledge and values and experience from one generation to the next is gone, and with it goes the confidence and security and sense of place which children normally take for granted. Children, already traumatized by the death of their parents, are left reeling as they confront the void in the aftermath.” – Stephen Lewis
- 10. That’s UN-speak for saying, “You’ve failed lamentably: for God’s sake get your act together.” – Stephen Lewis
- 14. “ Nothing in historical experience has prepared us for two generations of children rendered desperate, lonely, sad and bewildered by sheer circumstance.” - Stephen Lewis
