Young Health Programme is a part of our sustainability commitment using our capabilities to make the most meaningful impact where society needs it i.e. health.  The RISE Programme, an integral part of our Young Health Programme, helps the young women acquire new skills, as well as build a sense of confidence, so they become able to advocate for themselves and others. This empowerment transforms their lives and inspires a ripple effect of positive change in society.
