WKU Health Academies are the long-term source of support for the behavioural changes induced by the Life Skills and Peer Education courses which are taught in-school. They will provide a full range of professional clinical services exclusively to adolescents.

Our first Health Academy is due to open in the grounds of Edendale Hospital, near Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in February 2009. Africaid has partnered with the local KwaZulu Natal Department of Health, DOH to provide adolescent specific services. The local DOH will meet on-going running costs and staff costs.

Services will include:
• One-to-one & couple counselling
• VCT
• Treatment & management of sexually transmitted diseases
• Rape counselling and referral for trauma
• Peer Education
• Pregnancy testing and parenting counselling for young teenage mothers
• Psychosocial support groups for HIV positive youth
• Recreational games and internet access to increase youth attendance whilst providing essential academic stimulus

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you – or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.

Buy one square metre of turf to contribute to the pitch! It will provide an attraction for youths in the community, reinforce the belief that the HA is differentiated from traditional hospital facilities and provide a venue for Life Skills.
