The activities of Vuselela Ulwazi Lwakho Drop-In Centre are firmly grounded on the principle that
until there is a cure,access to information is the best, if not the only weapon against
the spread of HIV/AIDS. With knowledge the community will accept and support
infected individuals.

HIV/AIDS brings more than medical and economic problems. More than any other
disease, HIV/AIDS has the potential to undermine both the social and economic fabric
of the affected communities, because it targets those in the productive and “bread winning”
age group. The stigma still associated with the diseas in many communities may mean
that some people are less willing to help individuals and some families. It also increases
the emotional burden on people with HIV/AIDS andtheir caregivers.
