HIV AIDS in Africa is a curse on a monumental scale and Willing Hands is a UK charity working do what it can to improve the lives of those affected by it.

Our charity is small and only just beginning having been formed by a few people who were deeply affected by seeing the suffering of babies, children, young mothers... people of all types. Amazingly these people have hope despite their circumstances. Death, poverty, unemployment, sickness and tragedy are all round but these people get up each day and get on.

You can support us in a variety of ways:

• Financial donations on a one-off or regular basis
• Running a fund raising event
• Helping with fund raising
• Providing contacts or information or ideas

If you want to get a taste of what's happening at one of our projects in Addo Township in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, take a look at the movie. If this touches you then consider coming on board to help with the work. If you live near Durham in the north east of England you're on our home patch but we don't mind where you're based if want to help.
