1. INTRODUCING HOPEHIV 2015

2. We support children and young people in sub-Saharan Africa who have been orphaned or affected by HIV/AIDS. We believe they have the potential to make Africa’s future one of hope, rather than despair. HOPEHIV is about the generation of hope

3. HOPEHIV helps them do this through: Emotional & Social Support e.g. Kids' clubs help orphans cope with grief and care for younger siblings Education e.g. Teenagers are trained as peer educators, helping their classmates reduce risky behaviour and avoid HIV Economic Empowerment e.g. Street kids are given training and micro-loans to start up small recycling businesses Child Rights e.g. Clubs are set up in schools to help children understand and communicate their rights

4. Where did it all begin? Determined to do something, they decided to raise money instead. They started giving out £10 notes, challenging people to turn them into £100. This ‘10/10 Challenge’ raised some £2m and led to the formation of HOPEHIV in 2000. In 1997, Phil Wall visited a children’s home in Johannesburg, where he met a little girl called Zodwa. Her mother was a sex worker, dying of AIDS. Phil and his wife Wendy tried to adopt Zodwa but were prevented.
