May we invite you to sponsor our walk in aid of the Khuphuka Project, a pioneering and successful HIV/AIDS initiative working in an impoverished part of rural South Africa?
The Project brings medical care, information, advice, and support of many kinds to an area affected by high rates of HIV infection, severe unemployment, and malnutrition. Highly valued by the community it serves, it has the full support of local tribal leaders.
Our sponsored walk last year funded much of the Project's new community centre. This year we aim to help them buy a 7-seater Landrover, making it possible to reach outlying communities served only by gravel roads that after heavy rain are impassable to normal vehicles. The Landrover will also be used to transport local people to the clinics and government offices it is otherwise hard for them to access.
A second-hand Landrover in good condition costs about £18,000 in South Africa, and we hope that our ten-mile sponsored walk will raise well over a third of this amount.

Many thanks for reading this. We hope you'll consider making a donation - you will be helping a remarkable project that is saving lives, and improving the quality of life, in rural South Africa.
