Youth Hub
What the Youth Hub does
The Youth Hub is a networking platform led by young people living with or affected by HIV. From conception to implementation, young people are at the forefront of the Youth Hub.
Embracing values like responsiveness, inclusivity, accessibility, sustainability and innovation, the Youth Hub focuses on improving health services by tailoring activities to the needs of its community. It is powered by young people, for young people.
The Youth Hub in context
Young people (aged 15-24) account for a growing share of people living with HIV, according to UNAIDS. Studies show that young people face barriers in accessing HIV testing and treatment services. This could be due to lack of awareness, stigma or inadequate healthcare infrastructure tailored to their needs. Yet prevention efforts often underserve young people.
It's like a ray of sunshine in a dark room. If I were to characterize the impact, it was like turning a switch. On a scale of 1 to 10 for how much impact the [Youth Hub Seed Grant] programme has had for me, I'll give it a 5,000,000.
