AIDS Awareness Program
The HIV & AIDS Awareness among Youth and General Public Project was
started in May 2007 with the financial assistance of Trócaire/Columban Sisters and
concluded in April 2008. This project was a continuation of our “HIV/AIDS
Awareness Project 2005 – 2006” which was completed in September, 2006.
The project was intended to provide a platform to reduce the vulnerability and
exposure of adolescent boys & girls and adult men & women to HIV & AIDS and to
explain the linkages between HIV & AIDS, STIs and T.B. also including reference to
Hepatitis B and C.
The project was focused on the General Public, especially Youth and addressed
cultural taboos around sex, specifically the ignorance and/ or misconceptions and
myths surrounding HIV/AIDS in our society.
