An AIDS awareness campaign run by the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) in Malawi is reaching over a million people

An AIDS awareness campaign run by the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) in Malawi is reaching over a million people in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS.  Over the past 12 years, 1,500 ADRA volunteers have presented “lifesaving strategies” through music and drama to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.

ADRA Malawi, in addition to these presentations, has distributed 800,000 school notebooks with AIDS prevention messages imprinted on them.  ADRA has also organized AIDS education clubs in more than 350 schools to teach members how to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and to dispel myths about the disease.
