Chinyanta Chimba on HIV prevention and behaviour change (Zambia)
Audio File:
There has been a massive ongoing effort across Zambia to educate young people about HIV prevention. In 2008, 19-year-old Chinyanta Chimba participated in this effort by recording interviews with her friends, along with her own observations, for the Digital Diaries project of Voices of Youth (UNICEF’s online community for young people) and UNICEF Radio.
Chinyanta also worked with Student Partnerships Worldwide (SPW), a youth-led non-governmental organization that places young people at the forefront of change and development. In collaboration with the Ministry of Education, the organization has set up an HIV/AIDS education programme in Zambia as well as a 'Teacher's AIDS Action Programme' in colleges. Every year, they train over 128 volunteer peer educators who work in schools and colleges.
