At COFAS we strive to provide youth with a safe, secure, nurturing, loving and supportive environment to help them learn the knowledge, values, attitudes and behaviors that they need to become adults who make productive contributions to themselves, their families, communities and society in general.

Our programs are based on the realities of adolescent sexual behavior, recognizing that most health problems among teens are sex-related. HIV infection, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and teenage pregnancy remain particularly high among young people in Kenya. Many young adults living with AIDS contracted the infection during adolescence, a stage marked by limited awareness and education on sexual health. Furthermore, most young people lack adequate knowledge about HIV/AIDS and are often unaware of their risk of contracting HIV, STDs, or becoming pregnant.
