Could HIV/AIDS NGOs in Tanzania Share the Same Story with their Counterparts in Lesotho?
Lesotho is one of the smallest African countries. Being one of the smallest countries doesn't necessarily favor Lesotho when it comes to serious issues affecting the African economy in general. Regardless of its size, Lesotho like any other African country has to tackle all its economic issues and what impedes its economic growth.
A quarter of its population is HIV positive. The majority of the people living with HIV/AIDS are women. Almost 40 per cent of the population works in textile industries, with the rest working in Agricultural sector or mines in South Africa, etc.
Nalane, an NGO, created to support the HIV infected people shares its story in this interview. I realize that other NGOs elsewhere would also benefit in many ways from the story shared to us by Nalane. You may also learn some of the challenges facing the HIV/AIDS NGOs in Lesotho and may be in Africa.
