loveLife

Project details

Partner(s):

SAIE was approached by loveLife to partner it in its next phase of development – namely the Make Your Move campaign. The goal for loveLife in 2008 and beyond is to create the idea that change is possible but that it requires small actions every day by every young person – actions that will help them achieve their goals, are within their power, and enable them to stay free of HIV. This is the essence of the Make Your Move campaign.

loveLife is the national HIV prevention programme for youths in South Africa. They have collaborated efforts by international foundations, South African media organisations, private organisations, the South African government and leading South African NGOs to “turn back the epidemic of HIV/AIDS, and related epidemics of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, among South Africa’s young people”.

Our Involvement:

SAIE has been given the wonderful opportunity to develop entrepreneurship and life skills tools to support the loveLife campaign. These materials include two new workbooks; The 10 Commitments and Movers Map, two new interactive group games; Dilemmas and Trade Offs, a series of cards identifying a broad range of easy Micro Moves and Tracks (comic reaching 650 000 readers monthly through loveLife’s UnCut magazine). We have been energized by this development process which has been creative, unrestricted and carried out in energetic collaboration with the loveLife team.

Project Progress:

Following the training of the loveLife facilitators, the first training of GroundBreakers was held from the 07th to the 11th July 2008 in Knysna. SAIE and loveLife trainers co-trained this session for 20 groundBREAKERS and mpintshis. The training aimed to gain feedback from the groundBREAKERS and was the beginning stages for the training of 1000 groundBREAKERS nationwide. The response was highly positive and left groundBREAKERS eager to begin implementing the training of mpintshis and school pupils.

Special Projects

Exclusive project are conducted in South Africa like BusinessVENTURES and Agri-PlanIt. However, the difference between regular SAIE training programs and exclusive projects is that the later are done sporadically and that there is no long term binding contractual relationship between the implementer and SAIE. This prevents SAIE from conducting the regular follow-up and assessment procedures. These projects are conducted by a host of trainers and for MIS, website and archiving purposes there is no strict distinction among the different SAIE programs. The recipients of our training are various types of clients from individuals to organisation who wish to gain entrepreneurial skills.
