A 2nd-year Moffat student practices teaching AIDS education UNAIDS reports that 4.3 million people were infected with HIV this past year—more new cases than ever before. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the epicentre of the pandemic, home to nine out of ten children living with the virus.

One of Moffat’s courses trains students to teach the seven-week “Adventures Unlimited” course to primary school students. As part of the curriculum, they volunteer with Moffat graduate Isaac Mutua, who co-leads the Kijabe AIDS Education Program.

“We have the opportunity— we have the freedom to share Christ,” says Mutua. He explains the ‘ABC’approach to AIDS prevention:  Abstain, Be Faithful and rely on Christ. The Program teaches facts about HIV/AIDS and important life skills that will help them choose a life that’s safe, enjoyable and God-honouring. 

Donations for the Moffat AIDS program are used pay for AIDS education materials, office space and transportation.
