This was a one day outreach forum held on 30th January 2009, which was organized as a dialogue among community members.
This included members of the community who are key stake holders and are part of decision making organs in the community.

These range from the community chiefs, assistant chief representative elders, a representative from the police administration, youth leaders, women representative.

The outreach highlighted on the role of members of the community in fighting stigma related to HIV/AIDS. Some of the key topics that we concentrated on were:
• Basic facts HIV/AIDS
• Stigma related to HIV/AIDS
• Role of community in addressing issues above
• Kenya Youth Shadow report 2008

The TASC team partnered with members of the APHIA II programme that focuses on HIV/AIDS community training through their volunteers. Through this the members did 3 sets of drama that brought out the key issues in a community context.

The community elders, from both male and female organs of the community recommended the TASC team of their efforts and request that such forum should be held month to be able to reach all members of the community. This was especially in Kibera Community where there is a high rate of new infections among young people and married couples this is due to the challenges that especially young people go through because of unemployment an lack of basic needs.

The members of the community seem to be aware of facts on HIV/AIDS but there seem to be a lot of confusion with myths that go around the community especially since there are different cultures found in the areas and they all value their culture.

The rise of vernacular radio station in Kenya has also contributed a lot to this as some station do not seek to clarify their information before they send it out to the community members listening to the radio station.
