The Tusole Lwangunuko Support group was formed by people living with HIV and AIDS in Zambia<\/a> who came together to join the world community in the fight against HIV\/AIDS through sensitisation activities in the Mukuni Chiefdom in a bid to promote VCT and positive living and eliminate stigmatization and discrimination against people living with HIV and AIDS in Zambia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jane Kaye-Bailey with HIV AIDS Support Group Zambia<\/p><\/div>\n

The Butterfly Tree<\/a> is proud to support these brave people who I met during a visit to the area in May 2007. After three meetings with the HIV\/AIDS support group<\/strong> learning about the problems these people face on a daily basis, we donated money for the group to register as a society and paid for one member to be transported to hospital and receive physiotherapy.<\/p>\n

These people are living in very poor conditions and need a sustainable income generating activities, transport and a better diet as most of them suffer from anaemia. The group need training so that they can provide a community sensitization program throughout the Chiefdom and beyond and to empower women with the knowledge of mother to child transmission.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

HIV and AIDS in Zambia<\/a> is a huge problem and The Butterfly Tree is now providing the Mukuni Health Centre<\/a> with funds to buy formulae to replace breast-feeding in mothers who are HIV positive. We have also requested assistance from the district health office and US aid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
