HIV positive and pregnant

Parents around the planet are exploring ways to promote family life and introduce sexual education to their children. The Positive Film Series by the Walker Lela Foundation with Executive Director, Candice Lela Rolingson, is geared toward providing the material necessary for parents to do so. These films offer sexual education and awareness to teenagers. They promote family life and sexual reproductive health awareness to young adults. They also foster awareness for the prevention of getting pregnant too young, and the eradication of HIV and AIDS. HIV can be deadly if not detected on time and a rapid hiv test kit helps a lot in detecting the disease at an early stage.

Fundraising campaign for other films

The Walker Lela Foundation launched the Crowd funding Campaign last year to run until March 31, 2017. The foundation has pitched several fundraising efforts with the help of NGOs and the business community for the creation of two additional short films to follow Positive and Pregnant Part One. These films will bridge the gaps left open-ended in the prequel and illustrate the characters’ battles to overcome the challenges of stigma and discrimination.
