Senegal
Young people under the age of 20 account for 58% of Senegal’s total population. Delaying the onset of sexual activity and the age of marriage and childbearing, in addition to educating this extraordinarily young population as they enter their reproductive years about safe sex, is vital to creating a healthy and prosperous future for the coming generation and the country as a whole.
