"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world"
(Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador)
There are currently 53,000 adults living with HIV in the UK and a new person becomes infected every 6 hours. Globally there have already been more than 25 million AIDS deaths and every minute another 5 people die of AIDS. Wherever you are in the world, the message is very clear: Greater Awareness Required!
Our awareness-raising resources have been specifically developed to provide you with the tools you need to create greater awareness in your everyday activities.
We are sure that you'll find our 'Greater Awareness Required' products particularly useful in your preparations for World AIDS Day on the 1st December, and we have developed them with this in mind. World AIDS Day provides the perfect opportunity to promote awareness as people from all around the world unite in fundraising and educational activities.
However, raising awareness around HIV and AIDS requires a 365 day-a-year effort and so our products have also been designed to assist you in your initiatives throughout the year.
Our 'Greater Awareness Required' resources aim to provide not just a fundamental awareness-raising message, but also the details of our easily accessible and user-friendly website. This ensures that you are able to access up-to-date stats and facts, read recent HIV and AIDS news reports, register to receive e-news updates from GAR or replenish your stocks of awareness-raising resources 365 days a year.
