CDO, in collaboration with the HIV Coordination Officers of Mvomero District Council (DAC and CHAC), we are currently conducting outreach activities through the Afya Yangu Maisha Yangu project, aimed at strengthening youth-friendly health services across health centers in Mvomero District.
The initiative kicked off on 9 October 2025 at Melela and Melela Mlandizi Health Centers, where over 150 youth voluntarily turned up for HIV testing, counseling, and reproductive health education in a safe and friendly setting.
During the sessions, young people are empowered with:
- Knowledge on reproductive health and HIV
- Life skills and GBV prevention
- Guidance on HIV self-testing using oral fluid kits
- Awareness to end stigma against people living with HIV
This ongoing effort supports government strategies and contributes to global HIV goals like the 95-95-95 targets, by increasing access to services and promoting early diagnosis among young people.
