So I had to share this with you,am sure you will love what HAVEN ANTI AIDS FOUNDATION is doing in this project,
Education Plus Project is a youthful project that Inspires, Educates, Empowers and Exhibits young people’s talents thereby adding more knowledge besides school syllabuses to students in schools and out of school youth. They aim at Teaching, Training and Testing; thereby promoting their new HIV/AIDS Prevention strategies, that is,
Abstinence, Behavior change, Career guidance to
students in schools and Abstinence, Be faithful and correct use of Condoms in communities.
Their Mission
They focus on the promotion of HIV/AIDS prevention, awareness and sensitization in schools and communities involving and empowering youth through the use of their talents to pass on the message of Abstinence, Behavior change and Career guidance with the aim to change youth’s attitude and behaviors to prevent the new HIV infections
