Courage and Hope

An estimated 122,000 teachers in sub-Saharan are living with HIV, most of whom have not sought testing and do not know their status. Stigma remains the greatest challenge and the major barrier to accessing and providing assistance to these teachers.

A new book and film entitled Courage and Hope shares the remarkable story of teachers living positively with HIV from across sub-Saharan. In the film Courage and Hope: African Teachers Living Positively with HIV, we hear the voices of four Kenyan teachers living with HIV. We hear how they discovered their HIV status and how this has affected their lives with their families, their schools and their communities. Each teacher tells a unique story of extraordinary courage and hope.

The film is based on the book Courage and Hope: Stories from teachers living with HIV in sub-Saharan. The book tells the first-hand stories of 12 African teachers who are HIV-positive and living healthy, active lives.
