Support our 'Race Against Time'
The scale of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa is huge, and the rate at which it is growing is frightening. As the number of infected with HIV/AIDS people grows and the illness spreads, the number of people left in its wake also increases. Secondary casualties include orphans, teenagers and elderly carers. These groups become more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS themselves, exacerbating the problem. The work of BST is to assist in alleviating suffering caused by HIV/AIDS involves providing support, care and education for those affected in order to minimise their vulnerability to the illness as well as poverty alleviation of the poorest citizens of South Africa.
