Hill Crest Aids
Hill Crest Aids is a charity based in Durban, South Africa. Hill Crest run several projects in and around Durban.
The main aim of the charity is to educate people who have been subject to poverty since and before the Apartheid.
The education includes a Horticulture project, Feeding project, Schooling project and an Arts and Crafts project. The charity also provides a respite centre for people who are in the later stages of AIDS, a place of comfort, somewhere to ease their pain before they die.
This is not where it ends though. Hill Crest have dedicated Nurses who travel out into the dangerous surrounding areas of Durban to provide HIV victims with Anti retro viral treatment which helps fight the virus, allowing HIV victims a longer pain free life.
The fight against HIV/AIDS is now a global situation, but Charity's like Hill Crest give people hope, Hope that one day we will beat this virus!!
