HIV and TB in South Africa

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

With the help of the Tiffany Circle, we can build on our successes to expand the programme, and bring hope to thousands more people living with HIV and TB in one of the world's most affected areas.
