The Parushi Club

The Parushi Club – Where girls blossom into kick ass women!

We have embarked on a new project captioned “The Parushi Club” where we seek to transform girls into dynamic young women! Further, “Parushi” is the Akawaoi word for ladies. The Parushi Club is a mentorship and awareness programme that seeks to engage young women within the ages of ten (10) to nineteen (19) from the Buxton/Friendship community and surrounding villages. It aims to teach adolescent females about their bodies while enhancing awareness of sexual and reproductive health and rights. The troubling rate of unwanted pregnancies, adolescent pregnancies, and domestic violence are social ill that continues to plague the regions of Guyana. Thus, through this programme young ladies will be motivated by self-awareness sessions. These sessions will be facilitated by community resource individuals, Government agencies and members of the SRHR Adventures team. The project began on the 2 nd of March 2019 and ends in May 2019, sessions will be held every Saturday/Sunday, each session will last a maximum of two (2) hours. The method of random sampling will be used to select female adolescents from the community.
