Train a home-based carer
From a life alone to a friend at home...
In many remote Cambodian villages, the number of women living with HIV and AIDS is rising rapidly. There's little access to information about HIV and AIDS, and because communities lack this knowledge, it is extremely difficult to get treatment.
Your gift could help fund a project that trains home-based carers. These local women go to the homes of people with HIV and AIDS, who would otherwise be completely isolated, and provide basic medicines and counselling. They also share vital information so people can better understand the disease, stay healthy and have the strength to keep on moving forward - giving them, and their families, the chance of a brighter future.
