WElcome to Philisani
Philisani NGO started with health education to community of UMhlathuze in 1998 when HIV/AIDS infection was taking its toll. Philisani was funded by the national Department of Health to train HIV/AIDS educators to provide health education and prevention of HIV/AIDS in schools and communities in 2001.The Provincial Department of Health gave Philisani an opportunity to train clergy men and woman on how to start HIV/AIDS community project at church.
