Africare kicks off its new Pass It On! Campaign with a touching story out of Lagos, Nigeria about a young teen's fight with HIV.
Standing just over 5 feet tall, 15-year-old Gani of Lagos, Nigeria, is a young man with BIG aspirations. He’s a whiz at government studies, a gifted chalk artist, and loves soccer! But several years ago he found himself constantly sick and getting progressively weaker. Gani was infected with HIV.
When he was identified by Africare-Nigeria staff through a comprehensive Health and HIV/AIDS program, he weighed just over 50 pounds (24 kg). That was the day Gani's life turned around. Today, he is back to school, playing sports, and looking to a bright future...
