There are many reasons why you should consider being a role model for OneLove in your community. Here are some of them:
- You would be doing something positive to help reduce HIV infection in your community.
- Young people need someone who they can look up to, and who will guide them to make healthier, safer sexual decisions.
- Some people like the idea of being in faithful relationships. But they need to be shown that it is possible to have a fulfilling sexual life without cheating on your partner.
- You will give those who have decided to be faithful to their partners encouragement to stay on their chosen path.
Imagine the positive effect we could have in our communities if our youths were regularly exposed to positive role models who love, respect and protect their partners!
