Our Influence

The Soul City Institute has influenced social and behavioural change through our various programmes targeted at adolescents and youth.

• 95% of former Soul Buddyz Club members say that being part of the programme has impacted positively on their lives.

“I didn’t get pregnant at an early age,” former Soul Buddyz Club member.

• Exposure to the Rise Young Women programme is associated with HIV testing, negotiating condom use, and awareness of GBV support services.

“They taught us about the types of contraceptives and how to avoid unwanted pregnancies. They taught us about the different types of condoms and different sexually transmitted diseases…We were also taught about teenage pregnancy. Everything was very helpful,” Rise Young Women’s Club member.
