HIV/AIDS Project

AIDS is a tragic disease and voracious killer, particularly on the immense continent of Africa . In spite of efforts aimed at preventing the spread of this devastating disease, the rate of HIV infection is still rising in many African countries. Added to the poverty and malnutrition already rampant in much of Africa, AIDS is crippling the lives and economies of many nations on the continent, and South Africa is no exception. In collaboration with local groups, Rustic Volunteer Travel has established HIV/AIDS projects seeking to foster awareness among the local communities. Rustic volunteers/travelers and local experts will together engage in training, education, and demonstration activities to increase HIV/AIDS awareness in the local South African population. This project is very challenging however volunteers get the opportunity to help save lives and prevent further human disaster in this country.
