Ishema Ryanjye: Revolutionizing SRHR Education with a Deck of Cards

Let's play cards! 

Not any cards though, the Ishema Ryanjye cards.

Ishema Ryanjye cards are more than just a deck of cards, they are a tool to help break down barriers and encourage open discussion on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Meaning “My Pride” in Rwanda’s native Kinyarwanda language, Ishema Ryanjye is helping to make learning about SRHR fun and interactive, making informed choices easier for both adolescents and their parents. 

With support from the World Health Organization (WHO) in Rwanda, the project was founded by the University of Rwanda Public Health Students Association (URPHSA) in collaboration with the Health Promotion Organization (HPO) and Health Development Initiative (HDI).
