Project Africa
The African project: prevention
for all
Aids not
only endangers the different African
peoples, but also seriously threatens
the establishment of constitutional
states in Africa.
Since 1999, AIDS
Information Switzerland (AIS)
has been collaborating with partners
in different Aids-prevention projects
in the sub-Saharan region. Special
editions of leaflets containing
detailed information on Aids and
its transmission have been written
to be distributed in Africa. In
addition, AIS helps HIV prevention
in Africa by offering tests at
adequate prices and, within the
bounds of their means, by making
available anti-retroviral regimens
for the prevention of mother-to-child
transmission.
Preventive messages conveyed
through music
AIS has encouraged
the production of a musical album
(CD), which above all addresses
the African audience. The musicians,
coming from Congo-Kinshasa, Burundi,
Angola, and Nigeria, communicate
vital information, invite people
to protect themselves and call
for immediate political measures.
In addition to the songs about
HIV, which are presented in different
current African languages (French,
English, Kirundi, Kiswahili, Lingala,
Portuguese), the CD also contains
a song in Swahili calling for
the demobilisation of child soldiers.
