The Staying Alive Foundation supports this project which seeks to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS in South Carolina among young people through grassroots education and outreach.
Financial support will provide opportunities for the project to continue training community facilitators to address the STI/HIV/AIDS needs of adolescent girls, especially those living in the South, due to the high prevalence of these diseases.
In response to the increasing HIV/AIDS rates among youth, CEG has implemented the SiHLE project (Sisters Informing Healing Learning Empowering) reaching over 60 young minority females.
Young people 25 and under do not know a world without HIV, yet they continue to be disproportional affected by HIV. Studies show though, that young people, with the right education and tools, are also our greatest hope in stemming the spread of HIV.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
