The level of extreme Poverty in Tanzania, is fueling the spread of HIV/AIDS in TWO Serious ways,first ,it forces people to find work in certain areas,creating high traffic zones where many people (fishermen,business men,truck drivers,sex workers,Injecting drug users,(IDU),Men having sex with men MSM),etc ,come in contact with one another and are made Vulnerable to HIV Infection,Second it result in about half of Tanzanian Youth not being able to attend secondary school, creating large numbers of out of school youths without access to adequate health education, particularly with regards to HIV/AIDS.In addition to being at highest risk of infection,these groups are without the means to protect themseleves, as few awareness and prevention campaigns are directed at their particular situation and prevention methods are not readly available to them.Also parents and adult model, who in most othe topics are primary sources of information and skills, are unwilling and often unprepared to discuss with youth about sex and HIV/AIDS, because of these factors, youth often turn to other youth to learn and guide themselves on sexual behaviour decisions.

Unfortunately, many youth also lack HIV/AIDS prevention information and often generate misinformation and pressure others to engage in higher risk behaviours.Through in-depth experience of working with youth within Kilimanjaro Region Tanzania we have identified that there is a great need to adress the issue of overall youth vulnerability and particlarly youths vulnerability to HIV/AIDS.Also youth themselves have been the source of information who have expressed that the under laying cause of the vulnerability to HIV/AIDS is directly related to the barriers to access skills and measures to reduce their risk of HIV/AIDS and other STI's.This experience is the most reliable source of information available since it directly pertains to the reality of young people's lives.

Additionally, through conducting needs assessment with parents,community leaders,youth themselves, government leaders,other non governmental and community based Organization, we have researched and identified that there is a great need to adress this issue

Kiwango cha umaskini uliokithiri nchini Tanzania, ni kuchochea maambukizi ya VVU / UKIMWI kwa njia mbili kubwa, ya kwanza, ni vikosi vya watu kupata kazi katika baadhi ya maeneo, kujenga maeneo ya trafiki high ambapo watu wengi (wavuvi, biashara ya watu, madereva wa malori, ngono wafanyakazi, sindano kwa watumiaji wa madawa ya kulevya, (IDU), watu kuwa na mapenzi na watu MSM), nk, kuja kuwasiliana na mtu mwingine na akafanya kuathiriwa na virusi vya ukimwi, Pili ni matokeo katika nusu ya Vijana wa Tanzania kutokuwa na uwezo wa shule za sekondari , kujenga idadi kubwa ya vijana kutoka shule bila ya kupata elimu ya kutosha ya afya, hasa kwa upande wa kuongeza VVU / AIDS.In na kuwa katika hatari kubwa ya kuambukizwa, vikundi hivi ni nje ya njia za kulinda themseleves, kama ufahamu wachache na kampeni za kuzuia ni moja kwa moja kwa hali yao maalum na mbinu za kuzuia si readly inapatikana kwa them.Also wazazi na mfano wa watu wazima, ambao katika mada wengi othe ni vyanzo msingi wa habari na ujuzi, ni nia na mara nyingi unprepared kujadili na vijana kuhusu ngono na VVU / UKIMWI , kwa sababu ya mambo haya, mara nyingi vijana kurejea kwa vijana wengine kujifunza na kuongoza wenyewe juu ya maamuzi ya ngono tabia.

Bahati mbaya, vijana wengi kukosa VVU / UKIMWI habari na mara nyingi kuzalisha misinformation na shinikizo wengine kushiriki katika behaviours.Through hatari kubwa ya kina uzoefu wa kufanya kazi na vijana ndani ya mkoa wa Kilimanjaro Tanzania tuna kutambuliwa kuwa kuna haja kubwa ya kushughulikia suala ya mazingira magumu kwa ujumla vijana na vijana particlarly mazingira magumu kwa vijana wa VVU / AIDS.Also wenyewe wamekuwa chanzo cha habari ambao walionyesha kuwa chini ya kuwekewa sababu ya mazingira magumu ya VVU / UKIMWI ni moja kwa moja kuhusiana na vikwazo vya kupata ujuzi na hatua kupunguza hatari ya VVU / UKIMWI na magonjwa ya zinaa nyingine ya uzoefu huu ni chanzo ya uhakika wa taarifa zilizopo kwa vile ni moja kwa moja linafanywa na hali halisi ya maisha ya vijana..

Zaidi ya hayo, kwa njia ya kufanya tathmini ya mahitaji na wazazi, viongozi wa jamii, vijana wenyewe, viongozi wa serikali, mengine yasiyo ya kiserikali na kijamii Shirika, tuna utafiti na kutambuliwa kuwa kuna haja kubwa kushughulikia suala hilo
