It’s another African Voices episode and this month Sarah and Jess are heading to Zimbabwe, where we’re shining a spotlight on the brilliant work of Zvandiri. Meaning “As I am”, Zvandiri is all about young people living with HIV supporting other young people living with HIV. We look at where it all began, how peer support is changing lives, and hear some of the voices and music behind their work.

African Voices is a year-long series from The HIV Podcast, sharing perspectives from across the African continent.
How to get involved:
We’re inviting people living with or affected by HIV to share short voice notes about what’s happening in their country, what the world needs to understand, and what education they want to share. These voice notes may be played on the podcast as part of the series.
Episodes will be released monthly, on the last Friday of each month
Voice notes may be played on the podcast
