Welcome,
Dear all members and viewers, i do take this opportunity to welcome all of you in this group and hope that all that we plan to deliberate on and execute will be achieved by the time this project comes to an end.

I also do hope that we will get to learn more about each other and about our environment.

Please do your best in all and we will indeed have an AIDS FREE SOCIETY.
Cheers

There is a big gap between the uninfected and infected youth and this hinders the fight against stigma in the community and among the youth, making the PLWHA enclosing themselves in their activities
This is because a lot of young people are not really aware of their HIV status and thus are not committed to supporting their fellow PLWHA. These are basic facts that young people living with HIV/AIDS in Makadara Constituency come across in their day to day interaction with their fellow youth.

The response we have in relation to HIV/AIDS is over whelming with a lot of young people focusing on the ABC but very little is done for PLWHA to gain support from their fellow peers. The pilot project will be based on In Nairobi, Kenya, Makadara constituency which will be intended to be replicated in other constituencies

Main Objectives;
This project will enable members of Makadara constituency create and improve partnerships on the cooperation of PLWHA support groups and other youth group, by holding regular meetings and discussions, work on community activities together, etc Mobilization of resources, matching resources with the needs, work plan

The final report will be able to compile information in a more youth-friendly way and Evaluate and translate it to be able to be understood by the community members

GOAL.
The main reason for this awareness is to reduce stigma in the community against PLWHA through education of HIV/AIDS, in order to increase better understanding among affected, uninfected and unaffected youth, and to strengthen the community.
