Did you know…
- TARSC has produced a Trainer’s Handbook to help organisations that want to train facilitators on how to use ‘Auntie Stella’ more effectively. This handbook gives a step-by-step guide to a 1– 1 ½ day training session. It also helps you think through what type of skills facilitators and trainers need. If you would like a copy of this Handbook, visit the TARSC publications database and you will find it in our work on ‘Children, women and youth’.
- TARSC and some of our partners in southern and east Africa can also offer training in using ‘Auntie Stella’? Contact us for more information.
- TARSC, in cooperation with the Tanzanian German Programme to Support Health (TGPSH), is producing a Kiswahili version of ‘Auntie Stella’. Keep your eyes on this page and we’ll let you know when it’s ready. And take a look at the Kiswahili youth website supported by TGPSH.

Hi there! We’re making tremendous progress with Auntie Stella. There’s a lot of positive feedback from communities. Just over the weekend I was at a psychosocial camp and the youth only have good things to say.
However, this keeps coming up and I don’t know how your other users of ‘Auntie Stella’ feel, but the question is: is Auntie Stella targeted more at girls than boys? We had a group of Girl Guides and Boy Scouts and the girls used AS much more than the boys.
