FORTUNE

“I started getting sick with TB in 1998. It took too long for me to get well and so I was fired from work. Since then, I was struggling to get needs for my children and myself. In 2007, I got sick with Herpes Zoster and also tested HIV positive.

It was then when I was referred to Mashambanzou for treatment. Since then, they are helping me and I can't believe it. I was fortunate also to be put on the feeding programme. My life and that of my children is back on track. We have started a support group for people living with HIV. I am now back at work doing stone sculpture with others in my community. It would be good if you could help our support group in marketing our sculptures outside the country. This would assist us in managing school fees for our children including other basics.”
