The British Red Cross Society, incorporated by Royal Charter 1908, is a charity registered in England and Wales (220949) and Scotland (SC037738).

The British Red Cross helps our counterparts in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean with the fight against HIV.

The programmes we support focus on three key areas:

			Bufkadu Bogoje and Meleke Burato are both living with HIV in Ethopia . The help they received from the Red Cross has spurred Meleke on to help others in his community who are living with HIV and to combat stigma and discrimination.

			When Zode was first diagnosed with HIV, her neighbours in Ethiopia banished her to the outskirts of the village. Thanks to the Red Cross she has been welcomed back into the community and receives practical support from a home-based care volunteer.

			Misara Mukamutara is dying from AIDS in Rwanda. Her family receive vital help from the home-based care programme, which the British Red Cross supports.

			Skhumbuzo, Mlondi and Beauty have all been assisted by Red Cross volunteers in South Africa. Now Skhumbuzo works with the Red Cross to promote openness and awareness of the disease among other young people.

			Kindman works with the Zimbabwe Red Cross home-based care programme, visiting families who are caring for HIV positive relatives and giving advice to help prevent the spread of the disease.

Mrs George and Benjamin Ituah turned to the Nigerian Red Cross' home-based care programme when they were diagnosed with HIV.
