In implementing the Afya Yangu Maendeleo Yangu project funded by @terredeshomesschweiz, the KIVIDEA Project staff, cooperating with local government officers (municipal executive director, primary, and secondary school education officer), successfully formed 10 new in-school youth clubs with 30 participants each, making a total of 300 participants, in addition to 10 peer clubs formed last year.
Our new peer clubs are formed at the schools of Airport, Uhuru, and Benjamini Mkapa Primary Schools, Kasingilima, Katubuka, Wakulima, Kigoma Ujiji, Buhanda, Kitwe, and Kirugu Secondary Schools.
The 300 new club members were obtained in close cooperation with club teachers from each school using set criteria of age, sex, personal motivation, and evidence of risk to SRH/GBV-related problems of effects.
Moreover, in very close cooperation with the club teachers (the club patrons and matrons), the Peer Educators and Club Leaders have been successfully identified among the Club members.
These will be equipped to lead in-school club sessions which are expected to convene once monthly.
Club members will learn key topics of SRHR, GBV, Life skills, and SFA. Participation in a club will be exclusively voluntary.
