Gajah Tunggal and Yayasan Kusuma Buana (YKB): Preventing HIV/AIDS in the Workplace in Indonesia
PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk (GT), the largest integrated tire producer in South-East Asia, and Yayasan Kusuma Buana (YKB), an Indonesian health organization, have partnered to educate and train the company’s more than 10,000 factory workers in HIV/AIDS prevention. The campaign began in 2003, and is based on peer education with small groups of workers, of whom 94 percent are men. The partnership is also reaching out to nearby communities with HIV/AIDS prevention education. This campaign in the world’s largest Muslim nation has attracted international attention. Partners have traveled to Egypt at the invitation of UNAIDS to provide information about their program, and for the last three years they have demonstrated their approach to NGO visitors from many developing countries.
