Note
Clubs in All Schools
Statement by Honorable Dr. Phetsile Dlamini, Minister of Health and Social Welfare of the Kingdom of Swaziland at the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Children, New York, 10 May 2002.
“The biggest challenge is the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The Kingdom has since introduced a school Health Programme, integrated the information on HIV/AIDS into the school Curriculum as well as encouraged the formation of Health Clubs in all schools to promote peer education. There has also been introduction of a Child-to- Child learning strategy in schools through which children are taught about the Convention of the Rights of a Child, prevention and treatment of childhood illnesses as well as life skills for self-protection from abuse and exploitation.”
These clubs are now in operation and are supported among others by the Save the Children Alliance.
