Moral renaissance

In recent times there has been a major decline in donor funding for the AIDS pandemic in Africa. Majorly attested to the fact that most countries grossly mismanaged earlier funding and a feeling that the monies being chanelled to the third world is actually not doing what it is meant to due.

And truly so in the ground for anybody who cares to find out the NGOs are seemingly money making briefcase organizations. They are being used by individuals in order to make money more of business ventures than humanitarian. As long as they can draw action plans and collect data to confirm their activities which involves paying of the very confirmers they can continuously pipe the international funding into their pockets.

This has created another big corruption scandal as tax payer money from the developed states is grossly mismanaged from the very top echelons of the funding organizations to the man on the ground. This however does not mean that the NGOs are a complete failure. To give credit where its due, some of this organizations have achieved the unimaginable in terms of fighting the pandemic.public awareness has increased trifold times, while preventive measures have been made known and available to the vast majority. PLWHA have been able to access anteretrovirals at their remote areas and have been trained as ambassadors for change in the society. Holistic goals have been achieved and this can be credited to the enthusiasm of this very NGOs.

However since funding has been reduced and  running such organization has preemptively been a challenge all is not lost. I would like to urge the organizations not to relent as the fight against the condition is far from over. Let this time of difficulty separate the grain from chaff. Those who were solely around to merely make money will jump ship as ofcource. However those of us who truly belive in our cause to stop the pandemic should find other avenues that are less monetary to tackle the scourge.

Money as I maintain is overestimated especially when there are alternatives to it. I would sugest that instead of workshops that repeatedly year in year out teach the same thing about HIV/AIDS we can go for teaching morality which our society badly needs and is unimaginable in the scope which it might reduce AIDS prevalence in Africa.

Being a victim of immorality myself I understand how it single-hendedly contributes to majority of HIV/AIDS infection in the greater Africa. While I had predisposed knowledge on infection and prevention my inability to curb carnal desires put me in a great risk of infection. I realized that probably there were people out there who shared my own vulnerability due to this relaxed moral state that my society entertains in all garbs, civilization and modernity included.

Thus I thought that now since the money taps are seemingly running dry, we have the opportunity to realize what non-monetary and simle human elements can be harnessed in the fight against AIDS. We can experience lasting success by teaching morality to all the society. Purging tha wanton enslavement to our carnal destrauctiveness and releasing our society from the tight clasp of the AIDS scourge.

Everyone would rightly agree that the genral moral fibre in our society is wanting. We virtually have accepted that pre and extra marital sexual affairs are part of us. This should not be the case. Let us fight thi battle as it should. Openly castigate morality and increase social conscience on intimacy and true love. We can not accept ads that sell mapenzi bila regrets ni mapenzi na condom (condom love without regrets) as if we have forgotten what love is. condoms can only ensure sex without regrets and not love! This subliminal acceptance of weak morality even to the most ideal human notions like love is totally debasing.

We need to teach morality, truthful and non-comercial. Developed nations cannot fund our morals because money and try virtue and morals are incompatible. That is why I suggest that this are not difficult times but a golden opportunity for reinnasance especially in recalling morals that are lost to our true history as Africans.
