Limkokwing students in Mbabane have successfully planned and hosted the launch of the National Youth Council’s (SYNC) mobile site on campus.

The mobile site (sw.tuneme.org) is the result of a collaboration between the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs, Ministry of Health and the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF).

The purpose of the site is to play a role in arming Swazi youth with knowledge regarding matters they might find difficult to approach their parents about.

It contains information that gives youth advice on how to make the right choices about their bodies, rights, love life and sexual health.

The can also chat live with experts who are ready to listen to their stories and answer hard-to-ask questions.
