To tackle issues on youth sexuality in campus, a group of students at the University of Nairobi have developed an application. Rada, developed in collaboration with UNESCO seeks to provide the youth with information and real time help on wide ranging issues including sexual health; HIV and AIDS; career; finance; alcohol and drug abuse and mental health.

Interestingly, none of the 16 students who took part in developing the app are studying computer science or any ICT affiliated courses. The app will be launched next week during the Nairobi Innovation Week.
