HOPEHIV

Charity Registration No. 1079385

HOPEHIV is about the generation of hope. We support children and young people in sub-Saharan Africa who have been orphaned or affected by HIV/AIDS. They have the potential to make Africa’s future one of hope, rather than despair.

HOPEHIV’s work generates real hope through:

• Emotional and social support

• Education

• Economic empowerment

• Child rights

My story

After two weeks hard training (relaxing in France with a glass or two of wine!) I'll be doing the Manchester 100 mile cycle ride on 6th September in aid of Hope HIV.

Hope do fantastic work with orphans of AIDS in Africa. There are more AIDS orphans in Africa than there are children in the UK! They work with local partners across sub-Saharan Africa, providing housing, education and emotional support to these children.

What sets them apart and inspires me to get on my bike is that they invest in developing the leadership skills of these kids, so that they can go on to change their communities from the inside.

If you want to know more about their work have a look at their website - HopeHIV.org

Thanks

Richard
