Solutions to AIDS with Education

The cure for AIDS hasn't been found, and so far, research and education are the only method to help curb the spread of the disease. Many organizations, like the Community Health Corps are developing community centers that will educate people about HIV/AIDS. Their first step in making their community successful is going out to gather youth to participate in their activities so they can have more interactions in being more comfortable with the issue (NewsRX, p25).

Other countries are taking actions on educating people about HIV/AIDS also. Like the Republic of Congo, they have trained 1,939 teachers about preventions of AIDS. As a result of this project, it reached many children. So far, 3,099 students have become peer educators (Africa News Service, p1008315u2414).

Another thing that the UN is involved in is incorporating an effort with World Bank officials. Their plan is to hopefully send boys and girls to primary school by 2015, and their goal is to reach 115 million children (Africa News Service, p1008291u3220).

The World Bank has also taken some actions by cooperating with other countries and organizations to help Africa with the impact of AIDS (Africa News Service, p1008128u560).
