World Relief's "Mobilizing Youth for Life" project aims to 1) engage youth in interactive learning to establish

standards of sexual protection, 2) equip influential adults to guide youth in making wise life choices, and 3)

obtain commitments to abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage from youth aged 10-24 years

old. Since the project's inception in March 2004, World Relief (WR) has reached over 800,000 youth

through a combination of activities in over 2,380 churches, 520 schools, 684 clubs and other community

settings. Over the past four years, the project expanded its activities into all 30 districts making it a national

HIV prevention and stigma reduction program. Previous activities have included support to young people

who had already made a commitment to abstinence and promotion of commitments to abstinence for other

youth. WR trained 8,052 youth leaders, pastors, peer educators and teachers using the Choose Life

curriculum to reach youth with abstinence only messages. WR also incorporated an alcohol and GBV

approach into their programming, emphasizing the role of alcohol use in facilitating the transmission of HIV.

In FY 2009, WR will reach 58,900 new youth in schools, universities, churches and rehabilitation centers,

helping them commit to abstinence. Modifications to the Mobilizing Youth for Life will be made to address

key issues emerging from the mid-term evaluation, including topics on sexual abuse, alcohol and substance

abuse, gender, faithfulness and the transition to marriage. Training will include emphasis on the importance

of counseling and testing, and referrals of HIV infected youth will be made to care and treatment settings.

WR will continue to train parents, reaching an additional 105 parents as "trainers of trainers" (TOTs) as part

of a family focused intervention. WR will also use mass media to reach communities with information on

HIV prevention with an emphasis on abstinence for youth and fidelity for married couples.

WR's agreement ends in June 2010, so in addition to the above mentioned activities, WR will devote

considerable effort to planning for sustainability after the project closes, ensuring that partners have

increased capacity to maintain the activities that WR been supporting.
