Pink Power is one organization joining in the prevention of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases.
The organization was formed by sex workers to help fight for the rights of vulnerable women and children in Sierra Leone.
Today, it caters to many vulnerable young women with initiatives to empower their lives. One of those initiatives is the Tricycle or ‘Kekeh’ Campaign.
This is part of the initiatives and campaigns by Pink Power organization in sensitizing people about the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases and why should they use condoms.
When you happen to be a passenger in one of these ‘kekehs’, they give you one box of condom.
The organization has trained over 12 female ‘Kekeh’ riders who make a living while sensitizing about the use of condoms for safe sex.
“This condom protects you from HIV and other sexual transmitted disease. ‘One ride one condom’ is our slogan on the tricycle,” says Elizabeth Juana.
The Kekeh riding is not the only job the women are involved with.
They have a center where they are taught various skilled works.
Mohamed Corgay is the National Coordinator for Pink Power. “At the center here we have got some activities going on. Some are learning tailoring. We have got some activities on hair dressing and also here is the computer lab wherein most of these girls at their quiet time, they come here, they will train them computer.”
