Activities

Lao Red Cross is involved with several prevention projects including:

1) Village and construction worker peer educator training and ongoing support;
2) Interactive awareness and prevention sessions with commercial sex workers;
3) Distribution of appropriate IEC materials and condoms to beer shops, guesthouses and restaurants along with other relevant business settings;
4) Formal and informal training for the Government of Lao counterparts on prevention of human trafficking.

Since 1993, the Lao Red Cross and the Australian Red Cross have been managing an HIV/AIDS project in an effort to reduce the negative socio-economic consequences of HIV/AIDS on the people of Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR). Two-day youth peer education workshops are structured to train rural youth to talk to their peers about making informed decisions about behaviors that may place them at risk of contracting HIV or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The central message of the workshops: everyone is at risk.
