More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Students share information with teachers and other students online, covering malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS education awareness and prevention projects in their classrooms. Classrooms need computers, connectivity and materials. With minimal funding, each educator has the power to reach hundreds of students each year with a life-saving message. Botswana has a high prevalence of TB, HIV/AIDS and malaria.
Activities
Our projects reach 300 children each year with facts about: HIV/AIDS: Beyond my Own Backyard; Cultural Beliefs That Perpetuate HIV/AIDS; Eradication of Malaria; Feeding Minds, Fighting Hunger (covering all health issues).

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Students not only are empowered to protect themselves and teach in their community, but they also acquire job-related computer literacy and other science skills.
Project Message
I lost my own father from fever arising from malaria in 1997. That inspired me to go an extra mile that scientists overlook and that is promoting prevention!
- Tommie Hamaluba, project facilitator, Gabarone SS school
