The Durex Red bus will travel to eight different communities to donate thousands of condoms while promoting condom use and providing sex education.

They will also be donating five million dollars to the global fund that includes sales from the new Durex Red condom packs being sold in South Africa.

The funds that are raised will be distributed to the Keeping Girls in School programme in South Africa.
