What is Youth-led Action Against AIDS?

Under this campaign many social media contents related to educate and aware about prevention measures of AIDS were prepared and disseminated through social media pages.

Production of Lajaauchau Bhana Kina Timi?

We created and produced a music video regarding having normal perception of condom among the young people. The complete music video was titled ‘Lajaauchhau Bhana Kina Timi?’ prominently featured on the YouTube channel of We for Change. The music video resonated particularly well with young people. The engaging choreography, compelling message, and vibrant visuals struck a chord with the youth demographic. Consequently, the engagement metrics across social media platforms, especially among young viewers, were exceptionally high. Viewers, young and old alike, expressed their admiration for the video's creative approach in delivering a vital message about safe sex practices. Surprisingly, the video transcended generational boundaries, earning admiration from older audiences as well. Its ability to connect with a diverse range of viewers underscored the effectiveness of the video in conveying the importance of safe sex practices.

Will it Blend?

Under this activity, we produced a reaction video in different popular places of Kathmandu valley. Random people were asked about the prevention measures and how much knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS in people especially young ones. The video was uploaded on the social media pages of ‘We’ for Change and was liked by many young people.
