RAH foundation Information

RAH Foundation is a non-profit, non-religious, and non-political organization. RAH is committed to help improve the health of individuals in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region by conducting education and awareness programs, building human resource capacities, and improving the delivery of healthcare in the region. RAH has defined two projects: CTRL+S (www.CtrlSTD.com) and Hide & Seek. Ctrl+S: CTRL+S was established in 2014 with the goal of raising awareness and education specifically about sexual and reproductive health, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and controlling the further spread of STDs in Iran. Ctrl+S is a multilingual educational website targeted at the adolescent and adult populations of the Middle East region. Visitors have access to free health education through informative videos, up-to-date articles, and compelling facts. The website also provides a space to ask personal questions anonymously from U.S. based medical doctors who will answer posted questions within 24 hours. Using the tools of today’s Information Technology, we wish to inform and educate the youth on Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI). Our initial efforts have resulted in a bilingual website in English and Farsi that we intend to expand to other languages in the future. Hide&Seek: Started in June 2015 Hide & Seek focuses on raising awareness and education about Child Sexual Abuse (CSA). Hide & Seek, as one of the organizations established under the umbrella of RAH Foundation, directly connects with category number five “PREVENTION OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE”. The focus of this organization is raising awareness and education about child sexual abuse for both children and adults. We reach this goal by providing information on CSA prevention, age-appropriate videos and animations, and interactive children games; all presented on our social media platforms, website, mobile applications, educational packages, and in-person workshops.
