FY2020 PROGRESS UPDATE
International Conference on HIV & Adolescence
Our team didn’t just participate at #HIVAdolesence in Nairobi, we hosted a Get Involved booth to inspire local youth to take action! Our Nairobi-based volunteers led knowledge exchange sessions where we shared LetsStopAIDS materials through music and mob dances, as a creative way to engage each other in preventing new HIV infections.
World AIDS Day 2019
This World AIDS Day marked our 15th anniversary! Thanks to our partners at RBC, we hosted a Condom packing party - courtesy of Trojan Canada - and prepared 5000 condoms for distribution (during a snowstorm)!
AIDS 2020
The world’s largest health conference will be held virtually due to COVID-19. Partnering with Youth Stop AIDS and STOPAIDS (UK), we will be hosting a speaking panel about global youth activism to stop HIV, three NGO booths and an art exhibit to showcase our projects. This will be our 8th participation at this global conference.
Valentine’s Night 2020
On a night dedicated to lovers, we reached out to over 30 local bars in Toronto to distribute 2000 condoms; spreading HIV awareness (and good times)! Other than free entry to nightclubs, none of our volunteers were struck by cupid’s arrow.
HeyCOVID19
We responded quickly when COVID-19 became recognized as a global pandemic. With over 65 LetsStopAIDS volunteers in 13 different countries, HeyCOVID19 was put together in 6 days to ensure that people in vulnerable communities would be able to get accurate health information about the disease. Translated in over 25 languages, across 41 countries, we’ll be updating information from the World Health Organization (WHO) regularly, to keep everyone safe.
