New Rafi.ki partnership

Rafi.ki and the African Pulse announced a new partnership.
The African Pulse and Rafiki will be working together on a new project to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS in Europe and the sub-Saharan Africa. The project, part-funded by the European Commission, will:

• increase awareness of HIV and AIDS among young people
• improve understanding of the challenges within different communities
• facilitate discussion and learning across cultures
• mobilise collaborative action on HIV and AIDS

The project will be formally launched to educators and young people in January 2011.

If you or your organisation is interested in finding out more about the project or would like to discuss opportunities for working together in this area, please contact Jenny Owen at jenny[at]gemin-i[dot]org

This project is funded by the European Union
