A project that provides HIV
prevention and care services to farm workers in South Africa will be expanded,
International Organization for Migration spokesperson Jumbe Omari Jumbe
recently announced.
IOM and the US Agency for
International Development will spend $7.1 million to scale up the Ripfumelo
project through 2016. Under the work, more migrant farm workers will be reached
by HIV and TB prevention, counseling and testing outreach.
Ripfumelo, or “believe” in the
Tsonga language, has helped more than 20,000 migrants since it began in South
Africa’s Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces in 2009.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
