HIV/AIDS and girls' education. The FAWE Kenya Experience

This paper tells about an experience in Kenyan primary schools. A training workshop was organized for 64 teachers, two each from the 32 targeted primary schools. The two teachers subsequently served as patrons of the peer counselling clubs in their schools and provide guidance and counselling services. Through a highly participatory workshop, the teachers were equipped with knowledge, skills and attitudes in HIV/AIDS counselling and were presented with a lot of resource material for use in their schools. 64 pupils came with their teachers to follow the same workshop, in order to create awareness in a larger scale among the children.
