“I’m Terrence Headman aged 26. In January 2021, I was told by a friend about the project called Girls Choose Project that was been conduct by My Age Zimbabwe and i said to myself this is one of my dreams i want to be part of this then asked him more on what was it all about and when was the training been held this is how i became a girls choose Champions.
I feel like I have made it in life as a Girls Choose Champion because it taught me to be confident and also how to socialize with the people. Above all I feel so excited everytime we meet with other organizations or youths sharing the knowledge we have on SRHR.
Being a Girls Choose Champion feel incredibly rewarding it’s a chance to make a real difference in lives of young girls and to help them reach their full potential it can also be a very humbling experience as you come to understand the challenges and difficulties that many girls face in their daily lives at times it can be frustrating to see the obstacles that stand in the way of girls. “
Motto :Switching up the dynamic.

” My name is Joseph Moyo from Masvingo ,I was invited by a friend to My Age Youth Hub held at Hippo Creek lodge, from that day ,after receiving SRHR information, I choose to be the referral point for all young people in search of SRHR information.
l have been in the Health sector and with the information l have acquired felt that l have a part to play.
As a Champion was distributing condoms to young people, referring them for SRH service being the intermediary between the community and the service providers at large.
Since day one of a being a Girls Choose Champion, l have impacted many young Adolescents, young people to make informed decisions that they will be proud of tomorrow thus creating a resilient personality in these young people Knowledge is power and without knowledge you end up making decisions that will hurt your future”
