Vision
“Spread the message stop the virus”
Text to Change is dedicated to contribute to the fight against the worldwide epidemic. To begin with we intend to focus on HIV/AIDS education. We strive to educate people in a playful but serious way, by using practical and innovative mobile phone based activities, in order to increase awareness and realize a positive behavioural change among young people to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Objectives
With Text to Change we want to realise the following objectives:
- Create a dialogue in order to increase awareness of the disease and achieve comprehensive knowledge levels among young people
- Reduce HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination
- Motivate people for HIV testing and treatment
With these objectives we want to contribute to Millennium Development Goal 6: halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and rolling back HIV infections by 2015.

This seems like a great initiative. I wonder if it can be replicate din other African countries. Nigeria for instance 9assuming that it hasn't)...
Take care!
It would definitely make sense to implement this sort of initiative in other nations, in particular Nigeria. Thanks for your comment. I'm going to try and catch up on your blog over the next few days. Cheers!
