Tuko Pamoja: A Guide for Peer Educators

This guide was developed by PATH as part of the Kenya Adolescent Reproductive Health Project (KARHP) Tuko Pamoja (We Are Together) series. It is intended to be used by peer educators facilitating discussion groups with in- and out-of-school youth. The guide is designed to help peer educators share information and lead discussions with their peers on addressing physical and emotional changes during adolescence, staying healthy, planning for the future, making good decisions, and preventing pregnancy and HIV and AIDS. It can also be used as a reference for peer educators to learn more about the different topics.

The guide is divided into 26 different sections, each with objectives, background notes, a session guide, activities, and main points for discussion. According to the publication, some sections can be talked about during one group meeting; others can be divided up and talked about during several group meetings. Peer educators can decide how much information they want to talk about at one time.
