TB Proof aims to end the TB pandemic by
Two of our TB Proof members, Zolelwa Sifumba and Phumeza Tisile, shared the stage with Bill Gates, Bono, Peter Sands, President
Macron of France and affected community representatives to advocate for increased funding at the Global Fund 6th Replenishment
in Lyon in 2019 to fight TB, HIV and Malaria. Photo credit: The Global Fund/ Nicolas Rodet.
Being part of TB Proof saved my life. When
I joined I was struggling through the harsh
treatment alone, without support but being
welcomed in to TB Proof I had a family of TB
survivors.
A family who helped save my life and also taught me
how to use my own voice to advocate for change.
An advocate and activist was also born and with my
voice I now fight against the occupational illnesses
faced by health care workers, including
TB. With our voices I believe we can end
TB, along with other illnesses”.
