We are the people to effect change in out society!!
Family Care International (FCI) is pleased to announce the release of a new peer education manual for adolescents in the English- speaking
Caribbean, produced by FCI in conjunction with UNFPA Jamaica, and the Family Planning Association of Trinidad and Tobago.
You, Your Life, Your Dreams - A Book for Caribbean Adolescents is an important educational resource for young people and for program staff in
government ministries, youth clubs, family planning agencies, and other organizations that work with young people. Easy to read and visually
attractive, it provides accessible, objective, and urgently-needed information on a broad range of issues that matter to adolescents, empowering them to make informed decisions about their sexual lives and reproductive health. Originally developed by FCI for use in English-speaking Africa and now available in four languages, You, Your Life, Your Dreams was extensively adapted to reflect both the unique challenges facing young people in Caribbean nations and the sub-region's
rich multi-ethnic culture.
