Stop AIDS campaign in JHB CBD

The SSHC together with the volunteers ingaged themselves in starting a stop AIDS project in the Johannesburg CBD.

Where a group of  SSHC volunteers will visit  different blocks of flats; mainly  to distribute condoms to the tenants and also educate them about the awareness of HIV/AIDS and how important it is  for them to know their status before engaging themselves in  any kind of a sexual relationship.

Since 2008;the SSHC  has been targeting different areas around  Gauteng ;providing  the communities  with free counselling and testing courtesy of New Start professionally trained  volunteers.

The main objective of this project ;is to reduce the rate of HIV/AIDS infections by encouraging our brothers and sisters  to practice safe sexual intercourse. During the month of December 2009; the department  of Health  provided the SSHC volunteers  with basic HIV/AIDS training in order for them to become peer educators  for the benefit of the community; now  we are able to  provide  counselling  to women and men out there  who knew little about the AIDS pandemic.

Contribute  an hour of your  time and you will make a major difference in someone’s life
