Kwacha Afrika Troupe - KAT
 Kenya  |  Community/Family

To bring behavior change in the community of the North Coast region of Kenya, especially among the youth.

Kwacha Afrika Troupe (KAT) is a youth based community organization which is registered with the Ministry of Culture Social Services in Mombasa, Kenya. Apart from income generating activities, the members have been fully involved in HIV & AIDS awareness, prevention and care programs. KAT started as a group of youths and has now become one of the youth Community Based Organizations (CBO) in the Coast province of Kenya. Members of KAT are trained Peer educators and at present they are fully involved in the IMPACT project youth component which is being implemented by Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH). This project has enabled the members to be excellent communicators and they are also involved in post HIV Test clubs. As role models, all members of KAT have gone for HIV Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT). Our IMPACT project has provided much of the support for KAT. This support comes in the terms of training and working with them on a grass roots level. Other support has come from the Municipal Council of Mombasa and the local administration. KAT works in collaboration with other organizations.
