Success Stories

Walking Away From Death's Door
 The young man lay on what everybody thought would be his deathbed. “Tshepo” (not his real name) was molested and contracted AIDS while serving a jail sentence for a minor offense. When he was released, the 28-year-old did not know how he would survive.

More Than A Job
 You need only spend a few moments with Justice Shabalala to know that he is a man who has found his calling. In a wood-walled room used as a counseling center for those living with HIV, he banters easily with the patients.

Red for Life
 Red for Life is a Levi’s campaign aimed at bringing HIV counseling and testing, and prevention messages to young South Africans in a convenient and compelling way.

Prevention Messages Around a Pool Table
 As in many other South African communities, Ekuphumleni registers high rates of assault, rape, and gender-based violence. Taverns are central to these crises, fuelled by excessive alcohol abuse.

Heartbreak to Heartbeat
 Frans’s heart broke when his mother died in 2002. He was barely 13 years old. His sister, Nthabaseng, was 8, and brother, Lebo, only 3 years old.

Why I Choose To Be Faithful
 In April 2007, a friend introduced Adrian to EngenderHealth’s Men as Partners (MAP) program in South Africa. USAID supports the project with funding from PEPFAR. Adrian thought the approach was revolutionary.
