Think Twice, Cape Town
CRY was asked to fund the beginnings of this
project in 2001, and continues to be closely involved as the work
has expanded. From small beginnings the Think Twice Programme is now
impacting on the lives of tens of thousands of children and young
people throughout South Africa and in neighbouring nations.
The project basically develops health educational materials for use
in schools, to address the ever growing problems of child abuse and
HIV/AIDS. Through direct work with children, training sessions for
teachers and contacts within the state education service, these
materials are used to change lives.
In a nation and continent where abuse and HIV/AIDS is widespread,
the teaching programme sets out to help children understand about
themselves, how they can stay safe and the risks of inappropriate
relationships. These materials are shared in an open and forthright
manner, laying emphasis on healthy relationships and underpinned
with Christian principles. |
