THE
SOLUTION
CrossRoads
is a comprehensive, community based strategy, addressing the
HIV/AIDS issue. The program curricula and strategy now operates
in 5 continents in 50 countries and has been effectively implemented
in many educational systems. They are designed to offer solutions
for social problems through:
- ¨
Behaviour change
- ¨
Character development
- ¨
And the modelling of healthy relationships
The
project addresses the "A" (Abstinence) and "B"
(Be faithful elements of the national government's A-B-C HIV/AIDS
prevention program framework. It also supports the government's
"Moral Regeneration Movement" initiative.
Additionally,
our program is designed to create a 'snowball effect' within
the local communities through the positive influence the participants
in the program; namely parents, teachers and youth, will have
on their peers. Moreover, the CrossRoads strategy provides
an unprecedented opportunity to partner with communities,
school systems, businesses, and non-governmental organisations
to help address critical needs and to encourage a constructive
atmosphere for communication and behavioural change within
the community. By the utilisation of a model that addresses
universal culturally accepted moral values, we anticipate
a high level of participation from all communities and ethnic
groups.
