Malawian Youth Empowered by STI/HIV Campaign
--------------------------------------------
 
Youth Alert!, a Population Services International education campaign 
in Malawi, uses the message "My Life, My Future" to empower young 
people to take control of their personal health in a country ravaged 
by HIV/AIDS. Peer educators provide factual information and allow 
students to openly discuss hopes, fears and obstacles such as sexu-
ally transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies. 
 
The education program is funded by the U.S. Agency for International 
Development and uses school visits, a weekly radio show, an activity 
booklet and educational events to get the message out about HIV/AIDS 
prevention.
