Kel Sheppey founded Wild4life in 2008 to deliver a comprehensive HIV prevention and treatment program to rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Working with wildlife conservation organizations and local communities, Wild4life addresses five critical aspects of the AIDS epidemic in Africa: reaching rural communities, getting people to test and know their HIV status, getting those infected with HIV onto treatment, reducing risk behavior and mobilizing communities against the epidemic. With successful programs in Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Cameroon, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zambia, Nigeria and Gabon, Wild4life is connecting rural communities with existing HIV/AIDS treatment to promote universal testing and leverage significant change.
