- To effectively draw the attention of young people to the severe reality of HIV/AIDS existing in a society, their rights, the facts of HIV/AIDS and the importance preventative actions play in their lives.

- To encourage more young people to take an active role in combating HIV/AIDS and build their trust and confidence in accessing professional advice, services and care.

  • Individual responsibility
  •  Knowledge of the ABCs to combat HIV/AIDS.
  • Behaviour and attitudes that promote healthy lifestyles, relationships and communities.
  • Trust and confidence in the services available
  • The local, regional and global realities of HIV/AIDS.
