Mobile HIV testing in KZN

The Mpilonhle project, now in its second year, provides mobile health and education units to rural schools and communities in KwaZulu-Natal, offering essential services like HIV counseling, medical care, and computer training. The project’s primary goal is to improve health and social development, especially for the youth, in areas with high HIV risks. By reaching over 8,000 pupils and their families, Mpilonhle delivers life-saving services, including health screenings, HIV testing, and computer literacy classes. The project has received support from international organisations and celebrities like Charlize Theron and Oprah Winfrey, aiming to empower disadvantaged communities through health education and technology access.
