Overview

This project will build on previous support to Marie Stopes International-US (MSI-US) for using human-centered design to improve adolescent reproductive health services in Kenya. A prior grant resulted in the design and creation of the "Future Fab" program, which has significantly increased the number of 15- to 19-year-olds using Marie Stopes’ services in urban and peri-urban areas. This project will support MSI-US to collaborate with a human-centered design firm to create an approach that will reach the large number of 15- to 19-year-olds in rural areas through Marie Stopes’ mobile outreach teams.
