Project AIDS by TEAM AID

The aim of this project is to raise AIDS awareness by distributing 500 condoms and collecting 500 pledges of signatures during a one-day road show held along Orchard Road. We hope that by distributing condoms, it would create a lasting impression upon our target audience (youth of age 16 – 30). We also hope the youths of today will see the importance of taking measures to protect themselves and play their part in helping ‘AIDS disappear’ through a one-day road show.
