Maisha Bora Curriculum (Healthy Lives)

The "Maisha Bora" (Healthy Lives) Curriculum offers life skills-based HIV prevention education for young people and was designed as a guide for peer educators to promote sexual and reproductive health knowledge and positive healthy behaviours.

Published by the International Youth Foundation, the manual was developed in recognition of the fact that "young people are one of the most vulnerable groups who account for the greater percentage of new HIV infections. However, when young people are provided with the right information and relevant life skills and living values, they become an important stimulus for peer and societal behaviour change."

The manual contains five modules:

• Module 1 Introducing the program and ground setting
• Module 2 Risk, values and attitudes
• Module 3 Imparting knowledge
• Module 4 Developing skills
• Module 5 Action planning, report writing, evaluation and close
