Welcome to LWB International's website!
In some countries, the lack of resources on health-related topics is critical and dangerous. And community-based structures – when they exist – are not sufficiently equipped to respond effectively to the needs of populations. In France, there are still many obstacles to health education: inequalities in access to care, reluctance to confide in others, and a sense of judgment.
By strengthening access to and the quality of health information, we are thus trying to combat social inequalities. Our objective is not to compete but to support the structures and strengthen existing systems by providing young people with new ways of understanding, in order to make them actors in their own health and capable of adopting responsible and preventive behavior.
In France and internationally...
In 2017, BSF developed its first themed Ideas Box in the Boulonnais urban area: the Ideas Box Santé – CNP Assurances. It promotes the implementation of health prevention activities for children, adolescents and young adults. In 2019, the town of Sarcelles hosted the second Health Prevention Ideas Box.
By installing Ideas Cube in 25 Community Youth Centres, BSF is strengthening access to and quality of sexual and reproductive health information among Burundian youth, especially adolescent girls.
In 2019, BSF’s expertise was solicited by the French Red Cross as part of a nutritional and psychological support project for people living with HIV at the Outpatient Treatment Centre and the Nutrition and HIV Information Unit in Bangui, in order to support and improve their overall care.
