Facts about HIV/AIDS in Boyo Division
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director BFF
During the last three months Better Family Foundation has been blessed with a Peace Corps Volunteer who in his community need assessment carried out research in collaboration with BFF staff on the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS. The research results showed that the rate in Boyo Division is 4.6%. The result analysis showed that the youth are more affected than any other age group.
There after we have been holding meetings with health officials on how to redress the prevailing situation. Also sensitization campaigns have been organized in some secondary schools in order to teach the students prevention strategies. Also we have applied for grants from organizations like the PEPFAR grant with the hope that if granted aggressive campaign on HIV/AIDS will be launched in this community.
Also we have held meetings with some health officials soliciting for free HIV/AIDS screening amongs the youth in this area. All these meetings have been successful and we hope to continue lobbying for more opportunities to assist our youths.
The money we have received for this purpose has been put into use during our research and sensitization programs and we wish to thank our donors for such great gesture.

Determination to reduce the prevalence rate of HIV
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director BFF
Since the last report Better Family Founndation has being busy on the field planning on how to organize the would be HIV/Sex-ED camp for at risk youth in Fundong subdivision and beyond. BFF management has been lobbying for partners such as Peace Corps Cameroon through its Volunteers and Nourish Student International in the United States on how to raise resources to add to what our donors will provide in order to make tthe organization of the workshop possible. In doing this we have been communicating with these partners signing memorandum of understanding and defining our variuos roles during the implementation of the project.
Counting on faith that we will raise the required resources for the camp, we have used the remaining youth at risk manuals to support a similar camp for the Fonfuka Youths. Fonfuka is a town some 60 km away from Fundong town. This is a camp organized by the Peace Corps volunteer resident in Fonfuka.
We are also busy working with our peer educators sensitizing youths in and around Fundong on how to prevent HIV/AIDS in our society.
We heartedly thank all our donors for helping us to reduce the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in our community.

By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director BFF
HIV/AIDS is a really dangerous pandermic in Cameroon's society today. Considering its adverse effects to the socio-economic situation of our fatherland, Better Family Foundation has been busy on the field educating youth on sex education and sensitizing them on the effects of HIV/AIDS to the social and economic lives of our society.
Better Family Foundation has trained Peer educators who have been active on the field educationg the youths on sexuality and sensitizing them on the awareness of risky sexual behaviousr that expose them to HIV infection. These peer educators are moving from one community group to another and from one individual to another with same message and giving Better Family Foundation monthly feedback.
The succeess of this program hs depended on the moral and financial motivation given to the peer educators in order to facilitate their work. BFF management therefore wish to thank all those who have been contributing towards the smooth functioning of this program.
