Tiko

Overview

This non-profit organization is based in Amsterdam and was founded in 2014. It is dedicated to improving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) for underserved adolescent girls in urban and peri-urban areas across Africa. With activities spanning Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Africa, Burkina Faso, and Zambia, the organization tackles key issues such as unintended pregnancy, HIV, and sexual and gender-based violence.

The group empowers girls by removing social and financial barriers to SRH choices, offering accessible and integrated services like contraception, HIV treatment and prevention, menstrual hygiene management, and support for victims of sexual and gender-based violence—with all services provided at no cost. Using a digitally-enabled platform, it connects local stakeholders, ensures inclusivity through flexible onboarding, emphasizes real-time data transparency, and collaborates with local healthcare providers to strengthen service delivery.
