The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust will be hosting its annual update (UMBIKO WONYAKA) ceremonial on Thursday 29 August from 10am-12pm.
An update of the overall progress of the centre will be discussed and shared with any interested parties.
The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT) is a multifaceted HIV/AIDS project that provides care and support to all infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in a practical, sustainable way.
HACT was founded in 1990 as a ministry of the Hillcrest Methodist Church and is developed with the input of community members.
“HACT works on a ‘bottom-up’ approach to community development – by empowering and training individuals rather than simply giving hand-outs, the organisation helps people to find sustainable ways to become food secure and to generate income for themselves,” explains Chief Executive Officer, Olivia Myeza.
The past 21 years have seen HACT expanding its projects in response to the needs of communities in the region, focusing on the three main aspects of care, poverty alleviation and prevention of new infections.
HACT urges any interested members of the community to attend the AGM, to learn and provide their input.
Hard copies of the 2013 Annual Report will be available and the management team will speak about the developments in their departments over the past year.
There will also be musical entertainment and morning tea provided.
The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust can be found at 26 Old Main Road, Hillcrest.
