Who killed Veneranda?

By Pamoja

Who killed Veneranda? (To watch a video click on the link)

 

Veneranda, who died at the age of 17, stands as a symbol of all People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Bulongwa/ Makete District/ Tanzania, who were denied state-of-the-art treatment due to the misuse and theft of funds designated for their health care.

 

The documentary is dedicated to the 70 HIV-patients – many of them activists from the HIV/AIDS self-help group PIUMA (piuma-simba.org) – who died unnecessarily since 2006 due to the lack of decent HIV-care.

 

If you want to know more about Veneranda and PIUMA, read the article “Veneranda: Struggle of an AIDS-infected orphan” written by the award winning Tanzanian journalist Vicky Ntetema, former bureau chief of the BBC Tanzania, under the following link: pamoja.at/Press_Archives/Veneranda_Struggle_of_an_AIDS-infected_orphan.pdf

This documentary is dedicated to the 70 HIV-patients – many of them activists from the HIV/AIDS self-help group PIUMA – who died unnecessarily since 2006 due to the lack of decent HIV-care. They did not die from AIDS, but from corruption and disrespect for the human rights to life and treatment. “Veneranda: Struggle of an AIDS-infected orphan” written by the award winning journalist Vicky Ntetema, former BBC bureau chief for Tanzania, or search our press archives

    Christina, did you read the text here? I think you are talking about the need for more help, while the people need less corruption and more care.
