The Red Ribbon Club works to create awareness about HIV/AIDS, blood donation, and healthy lifestyle practices. It conducts seminars, rallies, peer education sessions and health campaigns in collaboration with government and health organizations.

Objectives: 

• Educate youth with correct, concise and adequate information and heighten their level of awareness about HIV/AIDS/STI/sexuality and other related issues (thus eliminate myths and misconceptions).
• Enable youth, especially the female students, to identify and understand situations of exploitation and abuse.
• Sensitize the youth regarding care and support needs of PLWHA and instill in them the spirit of helping and supporting the people living with HIV & AIDS (PLWHA) and reduce the stigma and discrimination against them.
• Increase youths’ access to health care services related to STI / HIV/AIDS/drug use.
• Create linkages between youth and governmental, non – governmental agencies to access safer and responsible healthy behaviour.
• Organize and facilitate voluntary blood donation camps and mobilize the youth for voluntary blood donation.
• Create among the youth a cadre of peer educators for seeking and encouraging positive health behavior as well as ensuring sustainability of the club.
