We have been conducting community performance in three locations namely; Chimwankhunda, Zingwangwa and Misesa. In all these communities 52 trained peer educators have been involved in sensitizing the communities through drama performances, songs and talent display. our main message in all these communities was "Protect a girl child from abuse and HIV/Aids, is everyone's responsibility". After the performance, I had the opportunity to talk about the rights of girls and how families and communities can support and promote girls to become useful citizens.
We have also started a netball league for participating girls, write now the clubs are meeting twice a week to practice and discuss important issues affecting them.
All the participating girls are now involved in peer to peer information sharing in their respective communities. It is expected that each peer educator will target and train 10 peers on HIV/Aids and gender issues. Each peer educator will mobilise these girls and form a club with them which she will be in charge. At the end of the day we are going to have 50 plus network of girls clubs in five community as a multiplier effect of this project.
I planned to conduct a refresher workshop on HIV/Aids so as to deepen their understanding in HIV/Aids.
