An organization called the Girl Child Network has embarked on a programme of returning teenage girls in Ugenya sub-county to school as a way of reducing their vulnerability to HIV infections.
The organization which is working in collaboration with the office of Siaya Governors’ wife and other stakeholders in a programme dubbed ‘DREAMS innovation challenge’, targets girls who are aged between 15 to 24 years.
Dreams innovation challenge Project Coordinator Hadley Muchela revealed that they are basically targeting secondary school dropouts; this is a HIV intervention strategy that uses education to reduce the girls’ vulnerability to the virus.
