Hello, hello! On top of this, we decided to collaborate with a youth project allaboutyou.ge, and co-develop a set or stickers with them. The stickers will have a content related to sexual health, sexual education, raising awareness about getting tested etc. We will have 3 types of stickers, 1 of which will be placed on 1 condom box. As this is a quite time consuming job (we will need to prepare 1800 condom boxes), we are collecting a group of volunteers to help us with this task. Each volunteer will receive a half an hour training on sexual health and benefits of safe sex, making them ambassadors of the Freedom to Be Safe campaign, so that they continue educating and raising awareness in their own communities.
Hi all! It's been a long time since we posted any update for our project.
Just to give you an idea where we stand: - DISPENSER: at this point, a condom dispenser has been already constructed by our new supplier www.microvending.com . It has been already tested with the Georgian Tetri coins, as well as with the condom boxes we will be using, and the results are positive 🙂 - CONDOMS: the biggest struggle was to find a supplier that could provide us with the pouches/boxes with only 1 condom inside (most of the suppliers have only a box with 3 condoms, making it very expensive for the end-user, to buy which we did not want to do, Our objective is to have it as cheap as possible). But now we have a Spanish manufacturer that will directly send the condoms to Microvending, who will send the dispenser and the condom boxes together to our attention (this will help us to drastically cut the costs, as transportation from the EU countries to Tbilisi costs a lot!).
Timing: - The condoms will be available by the end of March. - Micovending will send dispensers and condoms by 7th of April. - During the weekend of 31st of March we will have a workshop dedicated to the design of the dispenser surface. The workshop will involve 2 graphic design students and the Freedom To Be Safe project team.
As I'm not 100% sure about the limitation of the budget, I just submitted the request for 3 dispensers (without transportation cost). Obviously the number of dispensers can be adjusted, based on the available funds for this particular project.
Here are the illustrations of the dispensers, as well as how it looks in real print.
Here are the stickers for the condoms.
Here are the stickers that can go on any surface, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, walls etc.
So how is it going on? Are stickers ready yet? What about the condom dispensers?
