loveLife Development

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:

SAIE trained 85 LoveLife facilitators with the additional objective to refine and do final product testing and editing. Following this the goal is for loveLife to reach 3800 schools, through loveLife’s corps of 1700 GroundBreakers and a further 5000 volunteer peer motivators (know as mpintshis). Approximately 800 000 learners participate in LoveLife’s peer motivation programme called loveLifestyle every year. These learners will now be exposed to these new SAIE-developed materials as well as to SAIE’s BEST Game and the Deutsche Bank-funded Career guides.

Development Projects

Through the process of project implementation and continuous reflections derived from evaluations, SAIE is constantly faced with opportunities to develop further innovative entrepreneurship solutions to challenging developmental and educational problems. In the past this has resulted in the internationally used BEST Game, AgriPlanner and AgriPlan-It, the BusinessVENTURES range and the Wings of Welcome tourism program. Once a development process is completed and a new product is created, it is then used in the course of our project implementation.
