The most assuring thing that showed us that the project was working tremendously is the fact that the percentage of discarded blood has come down dramatically. This convinced me that people are keeping themselves clean and free of HIV. |
The project targets in-school and out-of-school youth. |
This is because most of them are not yet sexually active, which means they are still free from HIV. The project aims at making donors pledge to donate blood 25 times in their lifetime -- hence young people. |
