Kristiana Bruneau hasn't added a story.
I worked there for two years as a Communication and Marketing
Advisor. This is an initiative that I hold dearly and to that end, I
have asked my friends and family for a monetary donation in lieu of
gifts for my 30th birthday.
Things to consider:
- Swaziland has the highest rate of HIV in the world at 26.2%.
-Young women 20-25 are three times more likely to have HIV than their
male counterparts of the same age.
-Unsafe/backstreet abortions is the leading cause of maternal death
- One in four women in Swaziland have reported having been
sexually abused before the age of 18
- While the mean age for sexual debut is 18, the contraceptive
use in this age group is 7%
- Youth in Swaziland are the highest at risk for HIV, unplanned
pregnancy, sexually transmitted illnesses, sexual abuse, unemployment,
poverty, human trafficking, and sex work.
THAT SAID... Everyday FLAS is trying to find better,
more attractive, more resonating, fun and effective ways of educating,
advocating, engaging, sensitizing, and motivating behaviour change
with young people around sex, health access, preventative behaviour,
and planning and decision making around life choices... with countless
programmes, services, and communication and social behaviour change
campaigns and interventions.
As well, FLAS runs the Youth Action Movement Swaziland (www.facebook.com/YouthActionMovementSwaziland),
a youth governance structure, that fosters SRH&R education and
awareness among peers. As well, YAM fosters social responsibility,
civic participation, governence, mentorship and leadership - This
program has been the foundation of many people in leadership and
governance roles in the country. Like many activities at FLAS and in
the country, it remains wholly under funded and predominantly
unrecognized for its role in youth development.
FLAS also has a youth internship program that develops skills in
the work place and has helped our young people gain valuable
experience and opportunity. Youth interns often go to be hired at
other NGOs or have more applicable skill-sets for their career path or
academic pursuits. This program is invaluable to the development of
young people in Swaziland.
Help me, Help FLAS continue with their great and important
work with young people in Swaziland.
How it will work:
On April 21st I will transfer the
funds gathered here to my Royal Bank account.
FLAS has
provided me with their banking information and I will do a wire
transfer to this bank account at a cost to me of $41.00 CAD.
If you wish to skip the fundrazr page and transfer money
directly to my bank account or FLAS' I can provide this banking
information. I will make an acknowledgement of receipt of this
monies known for reasons of transparency and accountability.
With the money, I will write a letter which I will scan and
send to FLAS. In it will be a wishlist of where I would prefer the
funds be allocated.
Areas of particular interest to me
are:
- Substantiating the current internship program at FLAS
(specifically in communications and marketing)
- Substantiating
Youth Action Movement activities (specifically in social behaviour
change activities combating the social and cultural barriers to
health access and illness prevention)
Depending one how much is gathered will determine how specific
this wishlist is. I can make this wishlist viewable to whomever
wishes to view it.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
