This article is one of several Independent stories in its “RED” series, where half of the paper’s proceeds Thursday go to the Global Fund. Also read how Western garbage is harming Africa’s environment, how a Millennium Village Project in Kenya is making a difference, and about the many good things, including music and literature, that make Africa proud.
