Sekolo Projects is a non-profit organization that aims to prevent new HIV infections in young people in Namibia, southern Africa.
HIV prevention takes many shapes:
- direct classroom education helps kids learn about the virus;
- after-school support groups and activities reinforce and build kids’ self-esteem, strengthening their resilience to peer pressure and the temptation of risky behavior;
- physical support through extra meals, clothing donations, or even school hostel (dormitory) fees keep kids in school to learn about the virus and safeguard against those behaviors which put children at risk.
Sekolo Projects collaborates with school communities to find and support the best HIV prevention strategy for that community. We’re helping kids and their communities keep themselves strong and healthy.
