Save A Life, Save A World is a project aimed at creating sensitization and awareness on gender based violence issues and on gender based and sexually transmitted diseases. The project aims at providing the right information with the aim of making the youths and the society as a whole to be able to make the right decisions as far as gender and sexual based issues are concerned. The project began in February 2017 and has been running ever since. The project has been sponsored The Aids Control Unit in the past year and has continued to reach more youths with the information required.
