MASYAP launches a radio programme
MASYAP will use radio to educate Muslim women and young people about preventing HIV/AIDS and caring for those living with it.
MASYAP is joining wider efforts to slow the spread of HIV/AIDS by improving knowledge, attitudes and practices around sexual behaviour, and by helping people understand how to look after themselves if they are diagnosed with the virus. Radio is our newest tool for doing this.
What the programme aims to do
- Educate Muslim women and young people on preventing HIV/AIDS and on home-based care for those living with the virus
- Make the public aware of the outreach services MASYAP offers Muslim women and young people
- Create jobs for marginalised Muslim women and girls through projects such as Threads of Care
- Give Muslim women knowledge of microfinance services
