the regions of Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Iringa, Njombe, and Songwe. ).
Other
chapters will be launched in the remaining areas of Tanzania's Mainland

young
people living with HIV/AIDS with the goal of assisting their peers in
overcoming the different problems they confront. The Network runs
throughout
Tanzania's Mainland.
