Puppetry against AIDS.


 The International Planned Parenthood Federation funded a 3-year puppetry initiative by the Family Planning Sector through the Family Planning Associated Association of Kenya. It was launched in 1994 and aimed to fight AIDS by using the information, education, and communication strategy designed to reach men (the forgotten 50%). The strategy has been proven by the African Research and Education Puppetry Program to be a simple and entertaining approach in creating awareness of the causes and effects of HIV/AIDS through their ¿Puppets Against AIDS¿ programs. This article looks at how puppetry was introduced in Kenya, and the value of the puppets in conveying messages on sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS as well as other aspects of reproductive health. Specific emphasis is placed on the Kenya Community Health Awareness Puppets, a community-based organization that promotes reproductive health awareness though puppetry.
