Zanzibar teens are getting actual sex education through a program called Start Small that MSI Tanzania and ZAFAYCO launched to tackle unwanted pregnancies, STIs, and sketchy abortions. Abdallah Abeid from ZAFAYCO says girls used to drop out of school because they had zero access to reliable info or services, but thousands of young people are getting help each month through clinics, community outreach, and life-skills training. The contraceptive use rate jumped from 15 percent to 17.5 percent in some areas.

Health centers that barely saw youth patients are getting slammed with students asking about long-term birth control options like implants and IUDs. Saida Abubakar Mohammed from the Health Ministry says young women making informed choices represents a massive win for maternal health. The program combines reproductive health education with entrepreneurship support because giving kids economic options builds confidence alongside protecting their futures.
