Stay Alive Youth Support Group is a youth based organization in Eastland’s part of Nairobi. It was formed through the initiative of MAMA NA DADA a Non Governmental Organization as a result of the youths using the VCT center located in the institution.

The motive was to create a forum where youth infected and affected by HIV/AIDS could come together and freely share their problems with their fellow youths in a friendly and conductive atmosphere devoid of any stigma, discrimination and rejection.
Stay Alive Youth Support Group (SAYS G) was founded in 2005.The group members are all aware of their HIV status.

The Mission of Stay Alive Group is to empower youths in the fight against HIV and AIDS by involving them actively and directly, through the advocacy of positive behavior change among them, at the same time building their capacity economically through the creation of sustainable income generating activities with the aim of eradicating poverty.

Online with achieving the millennium development Goal 6Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases we have focused on reaching out to both infected and affected youths in our community by forming support groups for young people living with HIV/AIDS to have interactive group therapy by sharing problems, holding peer education reach outs to young on advocacy and behavior change programmes

All these will not be possible if we are not networking with other youths groups ( FAMILY ROCK, MILES AHEAD etc), development partners (UN HABITAT), Government offices (MINISTRY OF YOUTH, MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT,LIVERPOOL VCT CENTER,SOS YOUTH GROUP) and stakeholders (KYBT) in our community in our community in essence to capacity building, sharing information, ideas and reaching out to tap resources back to the community to enrich us economically and building our capacity. This is online to achieving both Goal 1. Eradicate Extreme Hunger and Poverty and Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development.

It has not been easy its challenging and since we all know that youth is a transitional stage and we wish to show a good example to our young followers and also our siblings its has been taxing but with determination and pressing on we are committed to aspire and engage the systems in doing all right at our capacity. The network of groups also do undertake income generating activities like drama, cultural dances, organizing environmental clean up day and educating the members of the community the importance of preserving our environment online with Goal 7 Ensure Environmental Sustainability this has been online with Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women by advocating for equity amongst us in all activities that we undertake in the community, ensuring that especially the rights of women, children and youths are put at the fore front in all our activities. As we know to educate a man is to educate a country while to educate a woman is to educate the nation.
