Success Stories
Walking Away From Death's Door

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.
