Jijue.org Launches New Site for JIJUE 1 Million Campaign for an HIV Free Generation

I've been fortunate enough to be part of JIJUE, a project focused on encouraging 1 Million Kenyans to be tested and know their HIV status by 2010. I had the privilege of spending a day with these guys when I was in Kenya in early January.

Here's an excerpt from their website:

JIJUE 1 Million campaign is a movement of the Kenyan youth by themselves, for themselves, seeking to revolutionalize HIV prevention. Our vision is a generation free from HIV. Our mission is to create a movement of caring communities that make responsible and informed choices with regard to life and HIV/AIDS through knowing their HIV status, prevention of infection, care & support of persons living with HIV/AIDS and mitigation of socioeconomic impact of HIV/AIDS.


They are having two concerts to help kickoff the campaign into high gear.
