Powering the future

Description

"Controversial HIV/Aids programme, LoveLife began in the final few months of 1999 when South Africa's epidemic was rampaging through the country's young people, leaving millions dead. In 2019, after 20 years of sustained effort , the organisation is still going strong, but with the some significant differences in approach. Large scale American funding has been guaranteed for five years and provided for ten. The famous billboards that had been characterised the first decade disappeared for economic reasons for the second. But the work went on, largely funded this time by several national government departments. Thanks to the changing complex and rapidly changing socio-economic environment, as the third decade of the 21st century begins, of increasing youth poverty, youth unemployment, and youth violence that LoveLife network of peer educators and their innovative programmes is attempting to combat. This book is required reading for all those interested in or engaged with South Africa's often darkly shaded grassroots reality."--Back cover.
