The ACQUIRE Project -- a global reproductive health initiative managed by engenderhealth -- implemented a two-year pilot project in association with CARE Nepal: the Reproductive Health for Married Adolescent Couples Project (RHMACP). This project sought to improve health outcomes for married adolescents in two target districts, Parsa and Dhanusha. In close collaboration with District Public Health Offices, the RHMACP established a peer education network to disseminate RH information to married couples; supported local health facilities to provide youth friendly-services; and fostered an enabling environment among parents, in-laws, and influential community members to increase married adolescents' access to, and use of, health services. The video includes compelling stories of local individuals and their contributions to the betterment of reproductive health services in their own communities. This project was made possible by funding provided by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
