UNSURE WHAT TO DO ...

I've been around KwaZulu Natal in 9 Districts and prisons. I've seen how people are still struggling with the shame, of being infected with HIV. Women living with HIV not brave enough to disclose to their husbands and partners about their status. They take ARVs but continue to have unprotected sex.

Young people doing Grade 12 with no dream to study further. Due to lack of information about funding opportunities. Young people who continue to have unplanned pregnancies. It is something unimaginable. To go to school with no dream to be anything else. Because there is no money to study further. But opportunities are there. Young people are just not aware.

But mostly, Poverty. People who are unable to take their medication because there is no food to eat.

With all these problems. I feel torn. I wanna help, but I am not sure where to start. How to make it sustainable? I don't have much, but with the little I have, I wanna make a difference. No matter how small.
