It’s over 25 years since the first recorded case of AIDS occurred. Since then HIV has sent ripples throughout society. Like a stone dropped in a pond families, communities and nations have been affected the world over.
Current estimations suggest over 33 million people living with HIV globally, with a vast concentration in southern Africa, where over 22 million people live with a virus that has an impact on every aspect of their lives. In 2007 2.5 million people were newly infected with this completely preventable, treatable and manageable disease.
Tearfund wants to stop HIV from destroying lives, families and communities, so by 2015 we want to see the spread of the virus stopped and its impact reversed in the communities where Tearfund and our partners work.
That’s a massive vision but we believe that we can be part of a miracle and stop AIDS. All together.
The question is…will you join us?
