Projet EER/SNEP (Project EER/SNEP) is a cooperative effort of the Teacher Teams of Rwanda and the National Union of Primary School Teachers. The organization has trained 10,000 teachers in HIV-prevention strategies and facilitation of school-based anti-AIDS clubs. A component of Project EER/SNEP's initiative is to educate primary and secondary school teachers about how HIV/AIDS relates to Rwandan culture. By educating and empowering teachers, Project EER/SNEP addresses the threat of HIV infection and the stigma of AIDS among school-going youth in Rwanda. Firelight's first grant supported the group's training of 1,000 secondary school teachers. With renewed funding Project EER/SNEP is training 424 teachers in HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support strategies using participatory learning techniques. These teachers, drawn from the 106 districts of the country, also learn how to facilitate youth anti-AIDS clubs and are committed to training other teachers.
