Bonaventure NIYOYITA is a Rwandan medical doctor with expertise in sexual and reproductive health, youth engagement, and stigma reduction. He leads URUNGANO Initiative, advancing pleasure-centered, empowering sexual health education for adolescents and young people.
Pleasure First is an interactive, story-based board game for youth aged 16–24 that promotes pleasure-centered sexual health education. Through play, storytelling, and guided reflection, the project explores consent, bodily autonomy, boundaries, communication, emotions, and desire. Grounded in pleasure principles, agency, mutual respect, emotional safety, curiosity, joy, and ongoing enthusiastic consent, the game presents real-life relationship scenarios without fear or stigma. During the fellowship, the project will be refined, piloted with youth, and adapted as a scalable, community-led tool that empowers young people to engage in healthy, consensual, and affirming relationships.
