Executive Summary

•  HIV/AIDS Edutainment

NYDO, in partnership with Love Life and SAAB South Africa has been actively involved with schools and youth groups in HIV/AIDS edutainment. We realize that education of HIV/Aids is fundamentally dependent on sexual behavior. The key to success is open communication about sex and early sex education. Open communication is essential to delaying the onset of adolescent sexual activity, reducing teenage pregnancy and reducing the spread of HIV/Aids and other sexually transmitted infections.

It is equally essential to back up open communication and sex education with adolescent friendly outreach and support programmes, hence HIV/AIDS Edutainment program through which we reach out to communities.

The thrust of NYDO's outreach and support programmes is recognition that individual risk reduction and behaviour change require changes in the attitude, values and norms of society in general.

We strongly believe that our HIV/AIDS Edutainment Programme packaged as part of life skills, contribute to creating hope for the future and building respectful relationships among young people. This is crucial in reducing the HIV/Aids infections.
