SayPro champions Erasmus+ projects that promote comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education in South Africa. This initiative targets schools, communities, and healthcare settings to increase awareness and access to essential health information. SayPro develops culturally sensitive curricula and training for educators, ensuring that young people receive accurate and relevant knowledge. Erasmus+ funding supports workshops and outreach programs that address gender equality, consent, and HIV prevention.

Through joint research initiatives, SayPro and European partners identify best practices and innovative strategies to improve program effectiveness. Erasmus+ also supports capacity building for educators, increasing their confidence and skills. This comprehensive approach led by SayPro contributes to healthier communities and supports national efforts to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
