Like many Tearfund partners, Kubatsirana provides essential support to people living with HIV. Although there is still no cure, medication exists that could extend the lives of those living with HIV by as much as 20 years. But people don’t know that this life-saving medication exists, or the clinics are too far away. Add to that a deep-set fear of hospitals as a place you go to die, and helping people access this treatment seems like a mountain. Yet Kubatsirana’s volunteers are climbing it.
To connect the hearts of our young people to the lives of young people living in child headed households around the world, we have a brand NEW resource called The No Slumber Challenge.

The No Slumber Challenge is a sponsored event where the money raised will go directly to our HIV fund. This helps support our partners, like Kubatsirana, and their church based volunteers who continue supporting child headed households and those affected by HIV and AIDS in their communities.
