Community volunteers in the fight against HIV/AIDS, Zimbabwe

120 community volunteers in Mazowe East district in Mashonaland Central province in Zimbabwe were trained in the fight against the spreading of HIV/AIDS and taking care of the people infected and affected by the AIDS epidemic, in the Total Control of the Epidemic project.

The Total Control of the Epidemic project in Mazowe is a community HIV/AIDS intervention programme by Development Aid from People to People in Zimbabwe, a member of the Federation for Associations connected to the international Humana People to People movement.
It is a 3 years programme educating each and every person in Mazowe district about HIV/AIDS, taking care of the infected and affected people in the community.

The community volunteers are running nutrition gardens. The gardens are producing nutritious vegetables for consumption for the infected people and HIV/AIDS orphans and surplus for sale. The income generated from selling the vegetables is used in taking care of HIV/AIDS orphans and HIV/AIDS patients who cannot support themselves financially. The community volunteers have established 15 herbal gardens and are producing human immune boosting herbs.

The project introduced the community volunteer program, to ensure sustainability of the intervention programme once the 3 years of the Total Control of the Epidemic programme is over in Mazowe district.
