About Us
In South Africa, the hard-won progress of a youth-led HIV education program is threatened by international funding cuts.
"It provides a safe environment for us," says one youth volunteer of the Desmond Tutu Health Foundation's HIV prevention project in South Africa.
"We need to make sure that we don't lose this program," says a youth volunteer.
"I don't want to lose my youth.
I want to keep it going," he says.
