As a Program Development Officer for Foundation for Healthier Families, Isaiah Khasiani specializes in capacity development for vulnerable groups, specifically young mothers, adolescents, and deaf girls. For his follow-on project in Kenya, Isaiah plans to expand a post-COVID-19 resilience project for teen mothers that assess the impact of COVID-19 on young girls who dropped out of school and supports them in reaching their full potential.

Isaiah will be placed at The Texas Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy in Austin, TX to gain skills to develop a winning Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) strategy for adolescents and how best to incorporate young girls who are deaf or have hearing impairments in SRHR activities.
