Until There's A Cure Foundation has been raising funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS since 1993. We have been a proud partner with Reaboka Foundation, who's vision is to facilitate economic empowerment of South African women in rural areas. This project will allow our foundation to keep supporting and purchasing items from these talented ladies. This will not only create positive work opportunities, but also support these women who are heavily impacted by HIV/AIDS.
Women are disproportionately affected by HIV in South Africa. In 2017, 26% of women were estimated to be living with HIV. Women in non urban black communities have a higher risk of being diagnosed with HIV because non urban communities tend to be less funded than urban communities. Women in these rural communities are affected because the lack of resources that are provided which can prevent from seeking treatment, care, acceptance, and support.
This project will allow Until There's A Cure Foundation to continue to provide these women with a sustainable income and teach them business skills in terms of record keeping, inventory management, bank accounts, consistent quality control and transportation of goods. This will also allow for these women to work in their home environment where they are able to care for their children and pass on their skills to the next generation.
This project will allow women in South Africa to provide for themselves and their families and gain self-confidence to take their lives into their own hands and to acquire an identity, respect and status within their community.
