Teacher training in Malawi that aims to reduce the risk of HIV infection amongst student teachers

The innovative Theatre for a Change programme works with Teacher Training Colleges like Lilongwe, to reduce the risk of HIV infection among trainee teachers and their future pupils.

We see how using techniques based around interactive theatre performance, to encourage integrity in decision making, and the use of strong communication methods, can bring about a change of behaviour in these student teacher groups that are most at risk, thereby empowering them to safeguard their own future.

The Work

For the vast majority of Malawians, HIV treatment is not an option - HIV prevention is vitally important.

We empower young people to protect themselves from HIV and advocate for their gender and human rights.

In the last five years we have:

  • Trained over 5,000 teachers in Malawi, Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso
  • Positively impacted on the lives of 20,500 children, giving them key communication skills in assertiveness and negotiation
  • Worked with high-risk and typically excluded groups such as sex workers and fishing communities.
