HIV/AIDS concerns everyone. With a mission to promote the successful future of HIV-positive African youth, EFA International empowers young men and women with the skills to lead healthy lives and help prevent HIV/AIDS in their communities. We have depended on your support throughout 2009 to provide opportunities for youth — such as health literacy trainings for Peer Educators, innovative microfinance opportunities, and the Youth Network Coordination Committee.

Hear from Hassan, a member of the EFA Youth Empowerment Network:

“I am a Peer Educator in order to help my brothers and sisters and to give them good advice. Thanks to the training I have received, people approach me with their questions. I have the confidence to speak in public and I now have knowledge about HIV and AIDS… Once people know their status, they have control over their health…Don’t run from your brothers and sisters who are positive or who are sick. They need all of our support in order to live a long time. It is better to take care of them and to encourage them. I am proud of myself and my life, even with my HIV-positive status.” – Hassan, member of AJEPS, EFA Youth Empowerment Network

This is your last chance in 2009 to make a difference in the lives of HIV-positive youth in Cameroon. We need $6,500 before January 1st in order to support our new partnership with local health centers and launch the Men As Partners training in 2010.

SUPPORT HIV+ YOUTH TO LIVE POSITIVELY.
SUPPORT EDUCATION TO FIGHT AIDS.

Thank you for your support. Happy Holidays and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year 2010!
