What We Do

Health and Gender

Connect To Retain implements innovative programs aimed to ensure that AGYW have access to the essential package of biomedical, behavioural, and structural interventions to reduce their vulnerability to HIV infection. The organization leverages on approaches to maximize synergies which include; increase and sustain knowledge of HIV, address leaks in the retention cascade, strengthen linkages to reproductive health services, improve capacity and linkages between community and facility level interventions and GBV Prevention and Response interventions. Interventions utilize an integrated model and emphasize a strong community participation in the design and implementation of programs, including in the selection of beneficiaries and the targeting and monitoring of program implementation. The key delivery channels include programs that focus on behavioural change, HIV prevention, treatment, care and support, gender-based violence prevention and treatment, and community mobilization. These interventions also seek to promote norms change while addressing stigma and discrimination.

Education

Connect To Retain provides a foundation of Education and Digital skills to young learners primarily aged between 13 to 20 years. Students profit from after-school classes with enhancement activities, intensive sessions, cooperative learning strategies, and real-life contexts. Henceforward, this advances to better jobs, educational opportunities, and opportunities to participate in and compete for future exchanges and study in the United States.
The organization provides training and support to teachers and school administrators, helping them to enhance their instructional practices and create more conducive learning environments. Connect To Retain also implements Value Based Education (VBE) interventions that foster holistic development and create individuals and communities who are not only knowledgeable but also morally upright and socially responsible. The organization implements this program by working with teachers to create a strong learning environment that enhances academic achievement and develops students' social and relationship skills that last throughout their lives.

Entrepreneurship

Connect To Retain recognizes the power of entrepreneurship as a catalyst for economic growth, job creation, and social empowerment. The organization equips prospective entrepreneurs and innovators with the precise knowledge, skills, and behaviors to develop unique products, services, and solutions. The entrepreneurs also get coached to incubate, run and grow strong enterprises.

Policy Advocacy

Connect To Retain actively engages policy makers and other key stakeholders to achieve measurable policy impacts and ensure decision making is informed by rigorous evidence-based research. C2R offers technical support to county governments and individual organizations in the development of policies and other strategic frameworks. The organization provides tailored training, mentorship, coaching, coalition-building support and Organization development and systems strengthening (ODSS) to strengthen the capacity of local organizations to address community problems by designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the impact of their interventions. This is a dynamic and outcome-driven participatory process that places an emphasis on organizational ownership.
