Furthermore HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment campaigns reached respectively 628 and 578 men and women in the fourth quarter. This work is carried out in partnership with Mogoditshane District Gender office and the Village Development Committes operating in these districts to ensure the sustanability of these initaiatives.In South Africa, the Young Women for Life Movement (YWfLM) continued the HIV/AIDS awereness compaignes in 5 provinces , these are Gauteng, Western Cape, Mpumalanga, North West and Eastern Cape.
