The Membership

SAYWHAT serves students in tertiary institutions regardless of their membership status. However, some rights and responsibilities accrue to members but are non-tenable and binding on non-member beneficiaries. SAYWHAT has three types of membership:

 

i) Student members- the primary form of SAYWHAT membership and is granted to any interested current student pursuing his studies at a registered institution of higher learning.

 

ii) Youth members – open to any person who, immediately before completing his studies or having for whatever reason left the institutions at which he was enrolled, was a student member, and any person who, though not having been a member of SAYWHAT demonstrates commitment, expertise and interest in student and youth public health and is willing to contribute to the advancement of the objectives of SAYWHAT.

 

iii) Honorary/corporate members – individuals and cooperate entities granted for various reasons, including, among other things, strategic association and technical assistance provision, within the interests of SAYWHAT and its mission to advance the youth and students’ reproductive health agenda.
