HIV/AIDS awareness campaign - please advise

In helping to achieve the MDG's, specifically MDG 6, the Non-Profit which I created, Project World Citizen, would like to implement an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign.
Our first project (a computer lab) as Project World Citizen begins in the town of Banko, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. This is a rural village where the nearly 100% of economic output is generated through farming. Students are given few opportunities to further their education, thus HIV/AIDS knowledge is low, and stigmatism is high.
Since we are already connected to the town of Banko, Project World Citizen would like to be able to advise youth and community members about HIV/AIDS. Many youth in this area will be pressured to leave the community to find jobs in bigger cities, or they will be enticed by the prospects of more money being earned away from their community. Risky sex can become very typical in these 'youth moves to the city' situations and we would like to educate these students about practicing safe sex, what HIV/AIDS is, how it is contracted, etc.
Right now we are seeking the advice of our TIG members to help us identify the areas which you feel are most important in an awareness campaign such as this one. Please leave your comments on which issues/areas need to be addressed, effective ways of presenting this information, what would/would not work in Africa, Ghana, and rural communities, and anything else you think would be useful as we plan for this presentation.
Thanks in advance for your feedback fellow TIG Members!
