Committed Young People


According to UNAIDS/WHO Fact Sheet on HIV/AIDS, about 5.7 million people in South Africa were living with HIV in 2007. South Africa continues to be home to the world's largest population living with HIV.

In 2006, Vhembe District had an estimated HIV prevalence of 14.1 which increased to 15.2 the following year. This could be an indication that we are not winning the battle in terms of preventing new HIV infections. It might also mean that we are not yet committed enough to win the battle against HIV. As members of Anaconda Youth in Action, we have just realised  that. It is against such background that we would like to focus on HIV Treatment and Prevention programmes in 2012.

This however, shall need more commitment, dedication, strategies and resources. This year, we will work on strategies to mobilise resources to address the challenges mentioned above. Management of Anaconda Youth in Action and The Board of Directors will work tirelessly to realise the vision of the organisation.
