UNICEF Burkina Faso combats HIV-AIDS through peer-to-peer education
Approximately 120,000 children in Burkina Faso have lost a parent to HIV/AIDS. Among them,
is Kiemde, 12, who lost his father two years ago. Now, he dedicates every weekend to
teaching his classmates and friends how to protect themselves against the virus that took
his father’s life. For the past year, Kiemde has led a peer-education programme to combat
AIDS in Bissighin, on the outskirts of Ouagadougou. The club is sponsored by the African
Youth Network Against AIDS, the youth arm of a UNICEF-supported non-governmental
organization. In the past seven years, the national network has grown to nearly
2,000 youth clubs.
