Awarness in Urban Slums –A UNICEF PROJECT |
The UNICEF project was started in 2006. This project reaches
out to youth in the age group of 15 to 25 years in urban slums
in Bangalore district. Peer educators from the community are
identified and trained to reach out to the youth in their slums
to generate more awareness about HIV/AIDS and to encourage them
to utilize the services available to them in the community.
The UNICEF PROJECT is collaboration between six NGOs based in
Karnataka, 3 of who are from Bangalore. The leadership and management
support is provided through an NGO called CARDTS through its
Management Support Team, Karnataka (MST-K).Under this project
ASHA Foundation reaches out to the youth of 15-25 years in 13
slums in Bangalore urban district. A total of 7,000 youth were
to be reached through training of 140 peer educators. Each of
these peer educators would be trained through 4 levels of training
and each peer educators would reach out to 50 peers on a 1:1
basis. The youth were divided into 3 groups- MARA (Most at Risk
Adolescent), EVA (Especially Vulnerable Adolescent) and AYNMAR

from all the three groups. So far 10091 youth have benefited
