Article-Summary: 

The Kibera Community Self Help Program (KICOSHEP) is a youth center situated in the middle of one of Nairobi's biggest slums. It caters to youngsters who are diagnosed as HIV positive as well as those who are not infected – but who, statistically, are at risk of becoming so. KICOSHEP is also one of the best examples in Africa of a homegrown, privately-funded AIDS prevention program.
