A seven week youth sexuality programme has been devised for the confirmation classes which deals with issues of sexuality from Biblical perspective. Confirmation class candidates are offered a seven week course called Survivor Africa, which focuses on sexuality. Confirmation class teachers are trained to run this programme, and completing a sexuality course is a pre-requisite to be confirmed.
Research into sexual activity amongst the Anglican youth revealed how vulnerable they are to HIV infections and teenage pregnancies. Young people are trained as peer educators to teach a 20 session life skill programme to their youth groups. As agents of change they are empowered to live the message as well as give the message. A peer education programme called ‘AGENTS OF CHANGE’. This programme combine various aspects.
In partnership with Think Twice we have developed a Sunday School curriculum which helps to protect children from the dangers of child abuse and teachers about HIV in a fun an interactive way. Fikelela in partnership with an organisation called Think Twice offers a programme for Sunday schools. The programme is named Jerry Giraffe, after the toy giraffe which will be used to help learners have fun while learning.
