GOLD Peer Education Development Agency (GOLD) is a dynamic non-profit organisation playing a key role in the transformation of under-served communities in Southern Africa, one person at a time. This is done through the roll out of a long term youth peer education model in collaboration with community based organisations.

The GOLD Model uses the methodology of peer education which harnesses the influence that young people have with their peers to encourage youth to develop health-enhancing and purpose driven social norms.

GOLD Peer Education is about unleashing the potential of young people to transform their lives and their communities. It's about restoring dignity, hope and vision. It's about young people realising their value and being empowered to make informed decisions about the challenges they face. It's about equipping influential young people to impact their peers through positive peer pressure.

The vision of GOLD is to see a generation of young African leaders confronting the root issues of both HIV and youth risk behaviour, through uplifting their communities and imparting vision and purpose to present and future generations.

Our Strategic Objectives

• To reduce the number of HIV infections and risk behaviour among youth through the promotion of health enhancing and purpose driven social norms.
• To mitigate the negative impact of inadequate education and HIV and AIDS on youth, orphans and vulnerable children, families and communities.
• To build social capital for sustainable community development within Africa.
