In Uganda, HIV/AIDS has devastated lives, plunging families into poverty as they lose their bread winner. Many children have also been orphaned as both their parents succumb to the disease. Many campaigns have started and many still ongoing to loosen the grip of the disease but many awareness drives have been a failure due to poor preparation and the message they put out. Lately, many are using a holistic approach of change in lifestyle, with awareness programs and using the support of the celebrities to pound the airwaves. Our volunteers will be part of the team and campaign effectively to stop the march of the disease.
What difference does this project make?
The project is designed to stop the rate of infection. Using awareness campaigns and many other messages targeted at the most vulnerable age group, volunteers will successfully campaign. As part of the project, volunteers will also take of people infected with HIV and try to lower the stigma attached to those who are HIV/AIDS positive.
