Health and Family Life Education (HAFLE)

Facts: Teen pregnancies is a significant public concern in Rwanda. A study conducted (DHS 2019-2020) shows that among adolescents aged 15-19 years, 47% of women and 34% of men reported having no exposure to family planning messages through any of the four media sources (radio, television, newspaper/magazine, and mobile phone). The under-5 mortality rate (among women 15-19) increases with mother's education from 17 deaths per 1,000 live births among children whose mothers have more than a secondary education to 62 deaths per 1,000 live births among children whose mothers have no education. .
