Peer educators at their October training
Shelly’s initiative has already achieved so much: in partnership with Planned Parenthood of Liberia, Shelly has trained 20 volunteer adolescent health peer educators and worked with them as they divided West Point, Monrovia’s largest slum, into ten different zones where pairs of educators could provide outreach and education. On Saturday, February 8, Shelly and her peer educators are holding a community event in which locals interested in family planning services can drop by and receive education and even family planning services if they would like.
