The (Music Television) MTV Staying Alive Foundation is calling for proposals for grants for HIV and AIDS prevention projects that are led entirely by young people.

It is looking for projects that intend to achieve the following aims:

- Educate young people about HIV and AIDS prevention and how it can be sustained.
- Focus on developing young people's potential to become leaders in mobilising community response and commitment.
- Alleviate the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS.
