Out of Africa

Sub-Saharan Africa is the worst affected region in the world with more than 25 million people living with HIV.

The total number of people living with HIV in South Africa alone outnumbers the combined figure for Europe and all of North and South America.

Some communities have been completely decimated and government services are desperately struggling to meet the demands for medicine and social support.

Yet even when the outlook appears to be so bleak, local action to fight the spread of the disease and raise funds to help those affected, abound. Global AIDS Rainbow (GAR) supports The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund whose work helps to provide hope to deprived communities and opportunities for individuals to lead more fulfilling lives.
