About us
The MTV Staying Alive Foundation works to protect young people around the world against HIV and to improve their sexual and reproductive health. On the ground, the Foundation gives resources and training to young leaders so that they can go into their communities and prevent HIV among their peers. With our ongoing training and support we ensure that our youth-led projects are sustainable and impactful. On air, The MTV Staying Alive Foundation ensures that young people around the world know about the dangers of HIV and how they can protect themselves. MTV Staying Alive is the world’s largest global HIV-prevention media campaign aimed at young people. Our programming consistently reaches hundreds of millions of households across the globe, in 100% of the top 50 countries most affected by HIV. Our mission won’t stop until this epidemic is over. There are lots of ways to get involved in the work of the Foundation: Donate direct—you can help our young leaders fight HIV in their communities through single or monthly donations.

Reflections and lessons learned on gender in the media sector from MTV Shuga Naija’s Talent Accelerator Programme In 2021, MTV-SAF received funding from the Global Innovation Fund. This funding was used to develop and produce a new season of MTV Shuga in Nigeria, focused on gender-based violence (GBV), as well as wider themes, including HIV (through additional funders). The development integrated broad local partnerships to create locally relevant and impactful content, which effectively reaches extensive youth audiences.

Thank you Global Innovation Fund for the support of MTV Shuga in Nigeria, and the endorsement of how media is an important tool in bringing about widespread behavioural change.
In the final blog in our joint series with our friends and colleagues at Innovations for Poverty Action, we highlight how #edutainment is powerful tool in the fight for #genderequality. In their recent #report on 'Best Bets' in #globaldevelopment, Innovations for Poverty Action singles out edutainment interventions for their strong evidence of #impact and potential to #scale. Entertainment mediums like #film, #television, and #radio not only have the power to #influence societies and cultures, but also to bring about widespread behavioural change by positively engaging people on critical issues. We highlight the work of two #investments in GIF's portfolio: Impact(Ed) International and The MTV Staying Alive Foundation ⬇ #internationaldevelopment #aid #socialimpact #innovatingtogether #gender #innovation
