Health education for women and encouragement for girls
Nine visits covered HIV transmission, prevention and home-based care, and girls were encouraged to focus on their studies and avoid risks.
At nine routine meetings with members, MASYAP talked about HIV/AIDS and related illnesses: how HIV is transmitted, how to prevent it and how to provide home-based care. The sessions reinforced the importance of awareness and taking charge of your health.
In the youth groups, we stressed education and personal development, encouraging girls to work hard at school and make informed choices that keep them safe from HIV.
