Peer to Peer training in life skills are the most effective ways of getting young people to either change their ways or simply learn the social skills that will help them to make choices, learn to be responsible and generally cope with the pressures of living in a fast changing world.

In Africa, peer to peer training can actually save lives. The following is an extract from UNICEF.    www.unicef.org/lifeskills/index_12078.html
“Peers teaching peers to prevent HIV
Many schools across the globe are offering a life saving learning opportunity to their students. They are placing students in the role of educator, for the very important task of preventing HIV among themselves and their classmates. Peer education is based on the reality that many people make changes not only based on what they know, but on the opinions and actions of their close, trusted peers. Peer educators can communicate and understand in a way that the best-intentioned adults can't, and can serve as role models for change.”

RWDA wants to provide such peer to peer life skills seminars for initially 28 youths, 1 boy and 1 girl from 14 villages.

The total cost is £2,624.  Please help us. These seminars have far reaching benefits. You can read RWDA’s full proposal and budget in the attached document.
