OTHER PROJECTS

• The candlelight Memorial
  This is an annual international event held to remember those who have died from AIDS. The Memorial provides an opportunity to come to terms with death and AIDS. It has become a powerful symbol of the presence of AIDS in Singapore , and a timely reminder for the community to renew its commitment to fight AIDS discrimination. The memorial is held on the last Sunday in May.

• Condom Vending Machine (CVM) Project
  This the only Condom Vending Machine (CVM) Project in Singapore. This project is not for profit but for you. The mention of condoms makes people blush, men or women are shy to speak about it, acknowledge it. Many even fail to accept that such noble invention exist to help in the prevention of HIV when condom is used correctly and consistently. Safer sex campaign is not new and are highly successful in Thailand in bringing down infections rates drastically in the late 90s. CVMs are available in China, Malaysia, Europe and America so why not in Singapore?
  In order to normalize condoms use, change the perception of condoms and to refute the excuse that condom is not available, our goal is to make condoms highly accessible. Remember, the possession of condoms does not equate to vice but a means of protecting you, yes both guys and gals alike.
  
  To date, we have installed Condom Vending Machines at 12 strategic locations around the island.
  If you think you want to help us further this cause to normalize condom use in Singapore, please feel free to let us know. We will be glad to arrange condom vending machines installed on your premises free-of-charge!
