Hair Salon Project

Assessing the acceptability and feasibility of promoting sexual and reproductive health services in hair salons in Lesotho

Become a citizen scientist!

We are looking for hair stylists.

Why SRH?

It is not easy for young women in Lesotho to access Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services such as condoms, contraceptive pills (“lipilisi”), HIV prevention pills, etc. Innovative and accessible spaces besides traditional health centers are urgently needed.

Why hair salons?

Hair salons may offer an innovative and safe community space to engage young women and address barriers related to SRH services.

Why citizen scientists?

Hair stylists know their hair salon and their clients best. We would like to collaborate with you directly!
