Electronic Information Service for Southern Africa (SADC)
---------------------------------------------------------
Dear All
I would like to set up an electronic network/service of popula-
tion and development information within the SADC region. This
would include information on issues such as:
HIV/AIDS; Poverty; Youth/Children; Literacy/Education; Employ-
ment; Gender; Older Persons; Substance Abuse; Development; Envi-
ronment etc.
Could any of you indicate how I could go about this and or maybe
indicate contact persons for such a project?
Thank you in advance.

Dear Carol,
I strongly commend you for moving in the right direction. I have
been attempting to embark on a similar project. However, I was
hoping to start small. I intend to register a non-profit to com-
bat HIV/AIDS and poverty in disadvantaged communities. My idea
is to then move on and launch a web site with current strategies
in HIV/AIDS awareness and poverty reduction programs for rural
communities. I have already lost two cousin brothers and my sis-
ter to the AIDS pandemic. In my opinion, one way to move quickly
on this project was to find a way of engaging people who have
actually lost a loved one(s) to HIV/AIDS.
If you do not mind, I want to volunteer to collaborate with you
on this venture. I have done some preliminary groundwork on this
project.
Sincerely,
Golden Munyaka Ph.D.
