Vision:
Rural communities where persons, especially children and youth, live healthy, wholesome and long lives free from HIV & AIDS infection.
Mission Statement:
In an era of HIV/AIDS, we seek to empower persons, especially children and youth, to respond to life's challenges and choices through the promotion of a value based Behaviour Change Process of Education for Life, Kenya (EFLK). In the presence of sinful structures, and in our collaboration with all stakeholder responses to the HIV pandemic, we espouse the need for personal morality, social ethics and education for prevention as essential components for an integrated approach.
Strategic Objectives:
- To create in the community a core of well informed, skilled and faith convinced persons who actually live and are capable of speaking out for a culture of life amid differing voices and conflicting valuesespecially, but not exclusively, in the area of human sexuality.
- To integrate a person and value centred behaviour change process with the infusion awareness/prevention HIV curriculum of schools and or with awareness/prevention/care programmes of other stakeholders.
