HIV/AIDS Prevention and Counseling
AIDS is the leading killer in Africa - with over 2.4 million deaths in 2002 alone. Despite major investments in AIDS prevention, the rate of HIV infection in many African countries is still rising. This project aims to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS and provide support to the affected. We disseminate developmental information on health related issues focusing mainly on reproductive health, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS. We provide educational materials on issues relating to the causes, effects and prevention of HIV/AIDS. Rustic Volunteer Travel partner organizations work to advance adolescent reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention. They focus on promoting behavioral change through facilitating discussions on HIV prevention and sexual health with community groups, including youth in- and out-of-school, clients at antenatal clinics, and general community meetings. Loving, caring volunteers are needed to raise their self-esteem and work as mentors to reach the maximum number of people; especially the younger generation and the children who are even more vulnerable to this deadly disease.
