In the capital, Harare, we continued to run our adolescent sexual reproductive health project. Our teams conducted consultations in youth-friendly settings at Mbare clinic and Epworth youth center, offering treatment for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), safe abortion, and post-abortion care. The project also ensures that adolescents and young people in Mbare have access to mental health and psychosocial support. In October, we started a new project in Gwanda district, Matabeleland South province, working with artisanal miners and host communities. We offer a range of services through a community outreach clinic, including screening and treatment for STIs and HIV as well as family planning.
In June, we handed over the migrant health project that we had been running in southern Zimbabwe to the Ministry of Public Labour and Social Welfare and the Ministry of Health and Child Care. For five years, we had been providing medical and mental health care to migrants and deportees at the border town of Beitbridge and in satellite projects in Plumtree and Tongogara refugee camp.
