The ribbon loops are formed by the overlapping of the ‘heads’ of 2 ‘elders’ holding the younger generation, symbolised here as an infant. The AIDS ribbon as a theme was chosen, with the colour red to remind us of the time in the early 1980s when we had to overcome bureaucratic red tape to ensure early access to prevention, treatment, care and support – this is unfortunately still relevant today. Kheth’Impilo, which means “choose life”, was chosen to instill a positive approach in attitude to making choices about us as an organisation, about what we do in supporting our mission and vision as well as how we would like our communities and patients to make decisions which promote positive health-seeking behaviour.
