G-space project is a program that brings together adolescents and young women to a safe space where they can comfortably speak about the challenges they face in regards to their sexuality. The project employs the use of skills building activities to pass knowledge to girls and women. Some of the activities we do include crocheting mats, sewing and bag making which has consistently engaged them.
