Get informed :
If you’re looking for accurate, youth-friendly information about sexual and reproductive health in Georgia, there are a number of places, organizations and individuals which can help:
Someone like you - the Y-PEER network
Under the Y-PEER scheme in Georgia, more than 150 motivated young people have been trained to help others of a similar age and background get the facts, understanding, attitudes and skills they need to be responsible for and to protect their health and well being.
One of the advantages of the Y-PEER scheme is that it’s flexible: you can chat one-to-one -- or in a larger group. And you can meet in almost any location: a university, a club, a café -- even in the street.

Get the facts at summer camp
If you’re taking part in one of the “Patrioti” youth
summer camps, you’ll have the chance to learn more about
how to prevent HIV/AIDS, about reproductive health and how
to achieve a healthy life style. The information sessions are
designed and conducted by young peer educators who have been trained
by UNFPA. For further information, contact:
