A Children’s Toolkit
The new toolkit was designed by the Southern African HIV and AIDS Information Dissemination Services (SAfAIDS). The toolkit, titled “Children’s ART Literacy Toolkit for Communities”, takes advantage of ways for children to learn while having fun. The information comes packaged in a red school box and is available in five languages that are common to Southern and Eastern Africa.
The toolkit contains a number of different items designed for children between the ages of 6-11. The toolkits contain the following items:
* A series of booklets containing information on a number of topics including HIV, treatment, discrimination, and supporting others.
* An interactive poster
* A calendar to help children track their adherence to their HIV treatment medications
* Pamphlets on tuberculosis, anti-retroviral treatment (ART), and children
* Advocacy stickers
* A board game to test their knowledge on HIV and ART
* Quiz cards on HIV and ART issues
