WHAT WE DO – Good Stories

THE WORK WE LOVE

VALUE PROPOSITION

We monitor and evaluate HIV/AIDS (manage and improve current and future outcomes) through the following programs and services.

TAILOR-MADE CORPORATE HIV/AIDS SEMINARS
GOOD STORIES
- Real life stories of people that have lived successfully with HIV to change the negative perceptions and prove that a normal, happy, healthy life is possible. Read more about these extraordinary individuals and the way they deal with challenges here.
PERCEPTION & ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENTS
- Analyze how HIV-friendly the environment is.
- Community perceptions (how they view and experiences HIV/AIDS, which drives how they react to it).
- Help the community understand the role they play to where we find ourselves today and how we all can play a role to affect the future.
- Identify strategic ways for the environment to better support those infected or affected.
THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU
- 40 minutes monologue that personifies HIV/AIDS to expose human weaknesses that feed HIV/AIDS, and present a fresh outlook to promote new ways of thinking.
DYNAMIC HIV/AIDS TRAINING
- Basic fundamentals of how to handle HIV/AIDS related situations.

HIV/AIDS MOTIVATIONAL/KEY NOTE SPEAKERS
619 CHALLENGE
- Annual running challenge where people from all over the country are challenged to walk, run, cycle (or a combination of all three) 61.9 KM’s from 6-31 January, to commemorate the date (06/01/09) when our founder was diagnosed with HIV and to help people kick off the year in a health way.
GOOD STORIES SESSIONS
- Monthly sessions where everybody is welcome, irrespective of status.
- We engage on HIV/AIDS related issues, our challenges as communities and individuals with the aim of learning from each other.
- Sessions are based on the premise that your everyday community should be your support group.
ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS
- Tailor-made to equip individuals on how to live with HIV and deal with specific issues, because people have different personalities, come from different environments and have unique experiences of HIV/AIDS.
