Despite major investments in AIDS prevention, the rate of HIV infection in many African countries is still rising. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has exacerbated poverty and malnutrition. Families hit by AIDS see their food production cut in half. 83% of AIDS-related deaths have come from Africa. Rustic volunteer’s partner organizations work to advance adolescent reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention. Loving, caring volunteers are needed to work as mentors in attempt to reach the maximum number of people possible; especially the younger generation and the children who are even more vulnerable to this deadly disease.
All volunteer programs start on the first and third Monday of each month.
