Project Hand Up
Our Mission is to help East Africans live healthy, productive lives by providing culturally-appropriate HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment education. We use puppets and teams of local puppeteers to perform funny, entertaining shows that break the silence on this 'taboo' subject and teach life saving medical information at the same time! We are dedicated to preventing the spread of HIV and improving the quality of life for those living with HIV/AIDS in East Africa. Project HAND UP focuses on topics such as prevention & treatment, fighting stigma, gender equality, self care, and confronting myths about HIV/AIDS. We specialize in developing culturally appropriate and visually entertaining, educational presentations for health education and medical service groups. We present educational, high impact performance based curriculums in English, Swahili and various native languages of East Africa.By writing, producing, and distributing specialized health 'curriculum kits' we also enable schools, places of worship, nonprofit & medical organizations to use the art of puppetry to address challenging medical and social problems in an effective, memorable, non-threatening way.

I work in a nonprofit and listing our organization on Eduo.org helped us reach new audiences and even new volunteers. It’s easy to use and feels built with love.
