Description

A gift of HIV/AIDS and health education will provide essential education for a youth so they will be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to prevent HIV/AIDS. Young men and women are the future of Tanzania, therefore, it is imperative that their health and well-being be preserved. Surveys make it clear that programs are needed that move youth from awareness and knowledge to actual behavior change.

In response to the need for training in life skills such as communication, relationships, decision-making, and goal setting in order to help translate knowledge into behavior change, Global Service Corps conducts an annual two-week long HIV/AIDS Prevention, Health and Life Skills Day camp for approximately 300 secondary school students. After camp, students are trained to be peer educators so they can continue to educate their fellow students. GSC staff provides support and follow up to ensure the success of health clubs.

* Support follow-up of health club activities in schools including providing supplemental educational materials (USD 10).
