Community Awareness Events

Our Youth Chair posts an event flyer.

Several times a  year Gatanga Kiiga organizes community awareness events to help educate the public about HIV/AIDS and reduce stigma. These events are made possible by a grant from ICAP.

Below are photos from our most recent event in April 2010. We focused on the youth for this event so activities involved a football match, volleyball game and a dance competition. Throughout the event we offered free HIV/AIDS testing on site with a VCT trained nurse. The event was a huge success and we had over 600 people attend despite a rather substantial rain delay.

Football match participants...plus a few more!
