Two million people in Mozambique suffer from HIV but are unable to take any medication because they are weak and ill due to a lack of food.
Without a simple balanced diet, the side effects of medication are so severe it is almost impossible for these HIV sufferers to be treated.
With your gift of food, many people can regain their strength, take their medication and lead long and healthy lives.
Monica (36) and Morrison (38) from Zimbabwe are HIV positive. They cherish their daughter Tadiwanasle (age 3), who is thankfully clear of the virus. The couple know, with Trocaire’s support, that a good diet combined with medication is their key to staying well. This year’s Gift of Food will help people living with HIV to have a nutritious diet, so they can work, stay strong and have a longer life.
