StAY Alive’s mission cannot be attained without reaching out to the young people around them. Many social ills continue to affect the country’s young people and the group agree that they need to be an instrument of change to society. StAY Alive has identified the areas which our young are being affected most and have taken up the challenge to change this by impacting on the society around them and have zeroed in on what has affected them the most; sexual immorality and the related HIV/AIDS pandemic and drug abuse.
StAY Alive runs several programs including:
1. StAY Alive PEVU – A mentorship program
2. P2H (Penzi Halisi Husubiri) Program – A true love waits program (Sexual purity).
3. K-A-T-A-A Initiative - Anti Drugs and Substance Abuse program. K-A-T-A-A is an acronym for Keepin’ Away Threatening Abuse & Addiction.
StAY Alive's anti-drugs campaign climaxes each year in December with a day long-roadshow in and around Zimmerman Est. This years event will be the 6th with great achievements having been met.
As part of our commitment to raise funds each year we walk 25kms in an event dubbed Operation 25. This years budget for the event stands at 300,000/- and therefore we hope, with your support, to fund 50% of it through funds raised in the walk. The walk is slated for October 13th 2007.
We invite you to give me your pledge by reply email (stayalive@myrealbox.com) and a date when we can arrange to collect the same. Further if your organisation would be willing to offer support to this program please advise and I will pass info to the group to make an approach.
We will cover the walk from St Marks Church in Westlands through Spring Valley, Nyari, Gigiri, Runda, Ridgeways, Garden Estate, Thika Road on to ACK St. Andrews Church Zimmerman…
