When we look at Tanzania today ,we cannot but feel
appealed by the rapid disappearance of the sense of
moral and ethical consciousness. At the same time, anti-moral
ways of thinking are rapidly increasing, modernization,
introduction of formal school system, rural migration
among other factors have disrupted the traditional systems
of socializing young people for adult life.
As a resort, there is a general decline of health
situation among the adolescent youths due to the involvement
into unwanted health practices (premarital
sex) leading to high risk situation including unwanted
pregnancies, abortion, STI/STD infections leading to
HIV/AIDS.
Promiscuous behavior among people of all ages has
degraded the human value of our society: No respect
is seen among adults and youths, parents and children,
husbands and wives. Considering these values degradation,
the IRFF makes a difference; following the success of
our HIV/AIDS radio program and the demands from different
people ; the IRFF-Tanzania in collaboration with ENVIROCARE
has started the communities outreach program. The program
focuses on going into selected communities to teach
the IIFWP ZERO TRANSMISSION by using the flip chart.
This program has been of interest to parents and youths
that we train as peer educators in other to rescue their
communities. Recently we selected 25 active girls aged
from 16 to 20 from different communities that underwent
a training for peer educators. These girls are coming
up with Anti AIDS CLUBS in their respective areas. We
receive appreciation from parents and different peoples
for this program. There is also a great demands of this
program from different regions of Tanzania.
Our message remains clear and healthy "Abstinence
before marriage and Fidelity within marriage"
