ComTALK International

Com TALK International (aka ComTALK) is a dynamic, impacting educational, counselling, advocacy, psychosocial support and referral non-profit community organization.

ComTALK International was established in 1998 and launched in 2000, driven by the desire to address the challenges facing young people. ComTALK recognized the absence of appropriate agencies to deal with issues affecting this population. Lack of parental support, child abuse, sexually transmitted infections, teenage pregnancy; drug abuse, violence, negative peer pressure, inability to access social services, the adoption of negative foreign values, and a lack of interest in spiritual values were the major issues that prompted our action. Equally important was the extent to which young people were engaging in early sexual activity which, led to a high incidence of HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).
