Ondertussen in Zuid-Afrika: Fair Play for Africa

Terwijl in de voetbalstadions van Zuid Afrika de vuvuzela’s tetteren, organiseert BKB Africa het Fair Play for Africa Event, een HIV-awareness festival in het township Umlazi.

Umlazi is een township buiten Durban met drie miljoen inwoners.

In de provincie KwaZulu Natal, waarvan Durban de hoofdstad is, ligt het HIV-besmettingspercentage boven de 30%.

Alex Klusman, die momenteel het kantoor in Zuid-Afrika ondersteunt, schreef erover op zijn weblog. Bekijk ook de site van Fair Play for Africa.

Over Fair Play for Africa

The year 2010 is an important one for the African continent: the first FIFA World Cup will be played on African soil; just five years away from the deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals, with a key MDG review conference in September, and the target year for African governments to fulfil their promises of spending 15% of national budgets on health care provision.

Fair Play for Africa is a pan African campaign that aims to make a strong push for universal access to quality health services for African citizens especially women, children and people living with HIV and AIDS through a strengthened, coordinated civil society campaign supported by active and empowered citizen base in at least ten focus countries in the continent.
