Scripture Union

sulogo[1]

Scripture Union South Africa sees its role as supporting the Church in introducing young South Africans to Jesus, the Bible and the Church. Its ideal is an AIDs-free generation of young people turned around by Christ and filled with hope.

Siyafundisa has partnered with SU to deliver the Scripture Union Lifeskills Education courses, which help young people develop the necessary skills for effective decision-making in the areas of sexuality and relationships. The young people are encouraged to choose a set of values and attendant behaviours that will put them at least risk of HIV infection.

This national AIDS intervention project has been running for thirteen years and reaches approximately 30 000 young people per year. It is based on an approved curriculum that is presented by a network of trained volunteers recruited from the local communities and supported by field supervisors.
