Happy life project aims at increase SRH knowledge and awareness in the community, especially the youth. Socio-cultural norms passed down by older generations continue to view the discussion of sex/sexuality as taboo. With the advancement of information technology, young people are exposed to vast amounts of information on SRH from various sources mostly being unreliable and
misleading. Yet, they are unable to discuss questions they have within family, friends, teachers, or even with the family physician due to embarrassment; resulting in isolation and confusion relating to SRH issues. Further, issues faced by young people and unmarried individuals are not sufficiently addressed by the mainstream health system. The project objective is to increase access to reliable SRH information to underserved social groups in a secure space. Using information technology as a platform the FPA created a tri-lingual space for dialogue and the dissemination of SRH information and counselling services. The project capitalized on the high levels of mobile phone penetration, increasing ICT literacy (estimated at 35%) in the country and web access/PC penetration throughout the island. Multiple ICT tools including phone calls, short message services, interactive voice calls, web based solution -online chat/email, forums were employed for the project making it accessible by all. The information/counselling services are provided by qualified doctors/counsellors. The anonymity of the individual seeking advice and confidentiality of the communication is assured.Contact Happy Life via:
