Our mission is to show that peer education in South Africa can achieve regular, face-to-face access with communities, families and youth. It aims to equip those involved with peer education with sustainable life skills, health promotion and a disease prevention system. 

CSPE works with South African partners from many sectors to strengthen peer education programmes integrating HIV and AIDS prevention, testing, care and support. Effective peer education is an essential strategy to make prevention a way of life. 

Peer Education (PE) seeks to build social norms that combat gender inequity and fatalism. It aims to prevent new HIV infections, encourage testing and early treatment, and support the vulnerable children. But more than this it aims to help protect and prepare people against other threats to their health and safety.
