Youth Health Festivals and Events

loveLife’s dedicated teams of groundBREAKERs and mpintshis present our healthy sexuality and positive lifestyle programmes in a fun and engaging manner through festivals and events, involving health talks, sport, dance, drama and debate. loveLife creates demand for services among youth through interactions with youth, therefore, as a way of bringing services to the people, the provision of services such as HIV testing, TB screening, blood pressure testing, etc. through various partners we work with is critical at these events.
