“The aim of this programme is to educate students, give them listening ears on all unasked questions troubling their minds and to also use their peers to talk them on issue of peer pressure that is happening in the society.
“Sex among teenagers has become the order of the day and there is a need to sensitize them to reduce the mahyem in our society, so that girls can grow up in decency and be well disciplined future mothers.
