UNDILUTED SEXUAL HEALTH PROGRAMME

The Pregnancy Help Network is a network of life affirming pregnancy help and community
organisations in South Africa.

Undiluted is a learning experience designed to equip learners to be sexually healthy and responsible. Due to the extremely high rate of teenage pregnancies and HIV infection rate, this programme was developed to influence and encourage teenagers to change their behaviour and make healthy choices regarding their sexuality and relationships. The programme aims to empower participants with the motivation to be sexually responsible and equips them to choose the best option when it comes to sex, love and relationships. The programme comprises 12 hours of learning. Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance.
