Youth-Friendly RSH and Educational IT Resources for the LVRC
At the end of February 2008, the Lady Volta Resource Centre received 3 computers from UNFPA for its new computer room for youth. The Resource Centre is looking good but there’s still a way to go and we need your help!
VEG is now looking for youth-oriented education materials to help support computer use and learning on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and various other issues.
If you have any materials - games , books, CD-ROMs, computer games on personal development, the body, SRH issues for youth, self-teaching typing and computer programmes, world maps, etc. that you would like to donate for the youth in Ho please get in touch now!
