Currently there 45 Primary Distribution sites across the 9 provinces • To date 2’610’940 condoms have been distributed through the programme since it’s inception in July last year • Exponential increase in distribution per month with new sites, averaging over 400 000 per month for the last 3 months with March totalling 630 000 units distributed. • At UKZN Howard College the team was able to increase the distribution on average by 300 percent from approximatley 30 000-40 000 per month to between 100 000 -110 00 per month when students are onsite.
