Kenya

Kenya was one of the countries that started schools4life in 2006, with the heart connection tour and training for skills4life.

They were unable to organise the dance4life event on November 25th along with the other countries but they did host an event a week later on World AIDS Day, 1 December 2006, for more than 500 young people.

In 2007 a new NCO, Africa Alive! came on board and along with their partners Kwacha Afrika and Centre for the study of Adolescence (CSA) they have started schools4life in two major cities, Mombassa and Nairobi and will reach more than 4000 young people in ten schools.

In 2008, the program grew to 50 schools, reaching 8000 young people thought the heart connection tour and creating more than 4000 "agents of change"- young people who have completed the act4life and skills4life component of the program.

The 2008 dance4life event in Kenya will be at the Boma’s on 29th November, which is the home of Pop Idols East Africa, with 2500 agents of change in attendance. A pre-event was held in Mombasa for 20 schools with more than 800 participants showing of their talent and support as agents of change!
In 2008, the Kenyan program has grown, receiving support from organisations like Art Venture, Amref and Family Health International (FHI). Kenya was also selected to participate in the African reality show, Imagine Afrika! Where they showed contestants the dance4life drill.

dance4life wants to make sure that the Kenyan youth becomes HIV-free. Protection and awareness will make a future of HIV-free adults more realistic.
