ENA PILLARS
Empowerment Nexus Alliance (ENA) has developed a comprehensive approach to community well-being through four core pillars, each addressing critical social issues:
1. Mental Health Pillar
ENA places mental health at the core of its mission, understanding it as the foundation that influences all other aspects of well-being. This pillar offers support for mental health challenges such as stress, depression, and anxiety. Through counseling services and community outreach, ENA fosters mental wellness, aiming to destigmatize mental health and encourage individuals to seek help.
2. Sexual and Reproductive Health Pillar
Dedicated to promoting safe sexual practices and raising awareness about sexual health issues, this pillar covers a range of topics including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV, and AIDS. ENA provides education on prevention, treatment, and best practices for sexual health, with the goal of empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
3. Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Pillar
Focused on breaking down stigmas and encouraging openness, the GBV Pillar addresses the often-overlooked issue of men as victims of violence. ENA provides a safe space for men to share their experiences, aiming to dismantle stereotypes around gender and victimhood while advocating for broader GBV awareness and prevention.
4. Environmental Conservation Pillar
ENA is committed to environmental conservation both on land and in marine ecosystems. This pillar emphasizes sustainable practices, conservation efforts, and community education to protect and preserve the environment, recognizing that environmental health is interconnected with community well-being.
Together, these pillars drive ENA's mission to create a more informed, healthier, and empowered community.

How ENA’s SRHR Awareness is Empowering Young Girls and College Students
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) education is critical in equipping young people with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their sexual health. In Mombasa County, Empowerment Nexus Alliance (ENA) has taken a proactive role in addressing SRHR among young girls and college students, fostering a generation that is better informed, healthier, and more empowered.
Breaking the Silence on Sex Education
For many young people, conversations about sex remain taboo, leaving them vulnerable to misinformation. ENA has bridged this gap through community sensitization, workshops, and school outreach programs that provide accurate and age-appropriate sex education. By addressing key topics such as puberty, consent, relationships, and reproductive health, ENA has empowered young girls to take control of their bodies and make decisions based on knowledge rather than myths or peer pressure.
One of the major impacts of ENA’s awareness programs is that students now feel more comfortable discussing sex-related issues. College students who previously lacked access to reliable SRHR information now engage in open dialogues, dispelling harmful misconceptions and fostering a culture of responsibility.
Encouraging Safe Contraceptive Choices
Unplanned pregnancies remain a major challenge for many young women, often disrupting their education and limiting future opportunities. ENA’s focus on contraception awareness has equipped young girls and college students with the information they need to make responsible choices.
By collaborating with healthcare professionals and institutions, ENA has educated students about different contraceptive methods, including condoms, birth control pills, implants, and emergency contraception. The initiative has also emphasized the importance of dual protection—using condoms alongside other contraceptives to prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
As a result, more young people are now taking proactive steps to prevent unintended pregnancies, leading to a reduction in dropout rates among female students. Many young women report feeling more in control of their reproductive choices, which has boosted their confidence in pursuing their academic and career goals.
Combating STIs Through Awareness and Testing
STIs, including HIV, remain a significant public health concern, particularly among sexually active youth. ENA’s awareness campaigns have focused on STI prevention, safe sex practices, and the importance of regular testing. Through partnerships with healthcare organizations, ENA has facilitated free HIV testing and counseling sessions for students, encouraging them to prioritize their sexual health.
By breaking down the stigma surrounding STIs, young people are now more willing to seek medical help when needed. The availability of confidential STI testing and counseling has encouraged students to take charge of their health without fear of judgment. This shift in mindset has significantly contributed to a healthier and more responsible youth population.
The Road Ahead
ENA’s commitment to SRHR education has already made a significant impact on young girls and college students in Mombasa County. By providing access to accurate information, safe contraception options, and STI prevention strategies, ENA has empowered youth to make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health.
Moving forward, continued collaboration with schools, healthcare institutions, and community leaders will be crucial in sustaining these efforts. Expanding outreach programs and incorporating digital platforms can further enhance the reach of SRHR education, ensuring that no young person is left uninformed.
By fostering a culture of awareness and responsibility, ENA is not only improving individual lives but also contributing to a healthier and more empowered society.
