Since 2001, the Stay Alive Program has been taught in nine different African countries to over a million and a half African children and their families. Within Kenya alone, over 350,000 children and their families have been taught using the program within schools, community organizations, religious organizations and individual familes.



Mr. Nelson Kalyango in Uganda

Mr.Kalyango is the Headmaster at a school in rural Uganda where the Stay Alive Program has been taught. He and his wife also care for several AIDS orphans.

"Mr. Kalyango is one of the most kind, hardworking, courageous people I met while in Uganda. You would never know it by seeing this photograph, but his legs are completely useless and he uses a humble wheel chair or drags his body around with his strong arms. He has overcome tremendous, seemingly insurmountable obstacles to educate himself and start this school. Because he understands the challenges associated with physical disabilities, the school he started takes in many who also have disabilities. The children were loving and helpful to one another. The light you see in Mr. Kalyango's face is shared with all his students. He is a true hero."  Tricia
