INTRODUCTION
Morogoro HIV AIDS committee through Mzumbe University UN Chapter conducted a
conference on 24/03/2012 at Mzumbe University.
Attendees were students from different secondary schools in Morogoro municipality namely;
Bigwa Sisters seminary, Kigulunyembe , Kilakala Girls, Lutheran Junior Seminary,
St.Peters Seminary, St.Francis De Sales, and Presbyterian Seminary.

2. The main Topics taught were; Behavioral Change Communication, HIV/AIDS and Law and
Gender -based violence. Mainly the programme aims at providing essential knowledge on
HIV/AIDS and related Diseases to young people especially secondary schools students that are
on the verge of joining higher learning institutions.
SUCCESSES
 We trained students and we assessed them by giving them different tasks to do in order to
measure their understanding ability on the matters presented by participatory method of
training during their presentation.
 We managed to network and enabled them to do the same.
 We formed committees from the six participants that we had from each school to act as
ambassadors training other students from their schools concerning HIV/AIDS and other
related diseases.
 We were able to understand how unknowledgeable people are on the aspect of
HIV/AIDS law; hence it is a call to spread the education to many areas.
CHALLENGES
 We had problems in raising funds as some people/organization /department did not
respond to our calls and this caused some financial constraints.
 The number of participants we expected to have was below expectation. We had planned
to have 60 participants from 12 secondary schools with 6 delegates each but only 6
schools participated.
 Some of the targeted groups failed to come partly because it was holiday period. We
expected to have students from form IV, V and VI, but we had form III, IV and Only.
SUGESTIONS
 Education that we gave them should be given to people in homes and villages who are
unaware of the burning issues on HIV/AIDS and related diseases.

3.  The Morogoro TACAIDS offices should seek ways to support the committee in its work
plan. This includes networking with donors and some key players in the fight against
HIV/AIDS.
 The Committee should be given a chance to send representative(s) in different meetings
and seminars conducted by TACAIDS and other organizations on HIV/AIDS.
 Support should be provided to the next phase conference meant for rural secondary
schools.
CONCLUSION
The Committee is looking forward to conduct phase two of the project that shall involve rural
secondary schools.
