the village of hope seeks to help children infected or affected by hiv, aids and tb in two different ways: we have a 9 bed children's unit to support those infected by hiv and aids and we also run a community-based sports and lifeskills outreach in the informal settlements and squatter camps each afternoon.

this blog has been set up to allow the key members of the team at the village of hope to share their thoughts, photos and experiences as we work in the community of grabouw in south africa

world tb day.....

just to let you guys know that today is world tuberculosis day and what with grabouw sitting as number two in the world of new infection cases we are doing so much work with people infected by this disease.......the problem that we have is to keep people on the programme as if they default they will become resistant to the drugs and will be unable to be treated...good news for us is with the amazing work our careworkers are doing in the local community we have moved from the number one spot from last year...which is great news!
