A force for change: integrated HIV and TB programme in South Africa

This is a unique chance to become significantly involved in our ambitious and highly successful HIV and TB programme in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.  

We're offering individuals, corporates and trusts the chance to help us expand the programme and play an important  part in its development through a range of exciting opportunities.
