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.
