Prevent HIV-AIDS through Awareness in South Sudan

Thanks for your continued support to prevent HIV-AIDS via Awareness.
Your money together with cash from another source will sponsor five HIV-AIDs Awareness Workshops from March to July. This initiative has been possible with funding from South Sudanese community in Diaspora (USA, UK, and Australia). The project will also provide necessary materials for workshop gatherings. The trainers will hold discussions with villagers how to use a condom, and demonstrate to both boys and girls how to wear it. By cultural practices, the use of a condom is not traditional. Talk about sex openly is illegal. The trainers will do their best to promote the acceptance in a village. A project will do it aggressively and loudly.

In next three months, a new field progress update will be posted so that you get to know the impact your contribution is helping to create.
