Summary

[edit]
Description

Maamohelang Hlaha tenderly kisses her young son Rebone. An HIV-positive mother of four, Hlaha’s village is inaccessible by vehicles, and is a three-hour hike from the nearest health clinic. She receives HIV treatment through the Riders for Health program, which is funded by USAID and run by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. As part of the program, pony riders and motorcyclists transport blood tests, drugs, and supplies to Lesotho’s remote mountain health clinics. The system allows people to receive HIV test results sooner, access life-saving drugs, and ensure an uninterrupted supply of medication. Rebone, whose name means “we have witnessed,” was born HIV-free in August 2008.
