According to the organisers, peer education is one of the most effective ways of imparting knowledge and skills on sexuality and HIV and AIDS among different populations, as peers have the power to influence attitudes and shape the behavior of others with whom they share certain characteristics.

This event seeks to address the problem of stigma and discrimination related to HIV and AIDS in Kenya, and identify tangible solutions through information exchange, while providing a platform for experience sharing.
