A warm welcome to all the new supporters who are running the London 10K for children and adults who are suffering from HIV/AIDS!
There are many undiagnosed cases of HIV/AIDS in the rural villages where Brighter Future does its grass roots work. We conduct discrete surveys to identify households where there have been deaths, where children are often sick or have dropped out of school, or where there is TB, to see if the people have HIV. In the last five years we have identified 359 HIV/Aids victims. last year we found 66 new cases. We take them to be tested and offer practical help - giving them medicnes and food parcels,and applying for ration books and pensions for them.
The most sick people are taken into our new Hospice, though for some it is too late, like this little girl.
A seventeen year old boy died this month.His uncle had been buying him a 'false cure'.
This 15yr. old boy is severely malnourished and has HIV, TB , asthma and skin infections all over his body. 
HIV infected widowed mothers learning to play a memory game.
All our patients are malnourished and anaemic. They are weak and suffer from aching limbs, and frequent fevers.Some have kidney complications, others have advanced TB.
It costs £400 a month to run the Hospice.
We hope that this year's London 10K run will raise this money.
