ACET Slovakia, led by Deniska Soltesova, has trained more than 6,000 head teachers and  sexual health teachers as well as many volunteer educators, and has worked closely with the Slovakian government to develop the national sex education syllabus.  More than half of all high school pupils will see an ACET educator at least once before they leave school through the 'Facts for Life' programme. Many ACET educators are university students or church youth workers speaking to their younger peers.  'Facts for Life' reaches around 22,000 young people each year in lessons averaging about 30 pupils a time and is growing fast.

ACET Slovakia has also recently joined a consortium of European Christian charities in a major project to involve thousands of European young people in speaking out against HIV and AIDS, partly supported by a grant from the European Union.  This is a major opportunity to reach more people, but also represents a huge step of faith as they expand rapidly and seek matched funding for the EU grant.
