INNOVATE: Engage

Led by Rise Up, ENGAGE is an innovative approach to ending early marriage and enabling Malawian girls to finish school. YTH spent time in Malawi conducting community consultations with young girls, boys and traditional authorities to discover how mobile technology can be used to educate and support young people and adult authorities on prevention of child marriage. YTH implemented a SMS campaign to reach the 800 girls enrolled in the ENGAGE program to support their knowledge around laws related to child marriage, and to provide sexual health education and referrals. The ENGAGE program ended in 2020 and a program evaluation is currently underway.
