Lovelife, the largest national HIV prevention initiative for young people in South Africa will soon sign two MOUs with the GMDC. The first MOU will be for the gender and media literacy course that is being extended to loveLife staff. The course will run for ten weeks between February and April 2012. The other MOU is for a GMDC membership that includes sharing of physical and virtual resources among other things.
LoveLife launched in late 1999 as a joint initiative of leading South African non-government organisations and the South African government, in partnership with several private foundations and the private sector with one shared goal: to turn back the tide of the HIV/Aids epidemic, and the associated epidemics of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
Their programmes are implemented by a national youth volunteer service corps known as groundBREAKERs in partnership with more than 200 community-based non-government organisations, 5 600 schools and 500 clinics across South Africa. These programmes reach 500 000 youth every month through direct face-to-face interaction - and are complemented by an integrated media campaign on TV, radio, print, mobile, outdoor and the web.
They also provide training and support services, such as toll-free helplines for youth and parents, to provide comprehensive, factual and personalised sexual health and HIV/Aids education to deliver on our mission to help ensure a generation of complete, creative and connected youth who have the tools to stay HIV free.
