HIV/AIDS

The HIV infection rate in Malawi stands at 12.5%, with more than 1 million people living with the disease. In some communities, close to 30% are HIV positive. The disease is devastating all areas of society – families, villages, the economic workforce, and the government.

Story Workshop addresses HIV awareness and prevention in everything we do. Our strategic plan calls for us to incorporate HIV/AIDS into all of programs, as well as our workplace. Because AIDS is a “cross-cutting” issue and affects all aspects of life, we work HIV/AIDS messages into all of our stories and programs.
