The purpose of this training center is to empower the indigenous community with knowledge of comprehensive health and HIV, life skills, in an environment of inclusion and respect for others, focused on promoting the reducing stigma and discrimination, through of the Program “How Much Do You Know?” directed to adolescents and young adults; with the educational strategy “I learn to love and take care of myself”, designed for children from 5 to 10 years old.
Since April 2015, AID FOR AIDS adapts the Training Center “How Much Do You Know?” with the purpose of offering psycho-pedagogical support to Initial Education. This is based on the need in the region, expressed by the School Shayla Iguanaisy, regarding the lack of spaces to serve children of 3 years old in the community.
