Gift Makwala
Gift has been a member of Champions for Life (CFL) – (a faith-based psycho-social support program for adolescents living with HIV) for over 20 years. Currently serving as Director of CFL, Gift has contributed and advocated for a bigger role for PSS care in the holistic treatment of adolescents living with HIV. Gift’s passion to see young people with HIV prosper, has driven him to push the CFL program to 11 countries and 24 cities in southern and east Africa – impacting thousands of lives.
