How do we educate the women of the rural communities of South Africa

Gosh it seems like forever since I made contact, with the public holiday on Monday, yesterday just never gave me two minutes.

What I would like to touch on, is the dire situation of the women in the rural areas of South Africa. With so much development and forward growth in getting the message out about HIV/Aids, why then are our women dying and being infected with this disease.

Last night watching a South African programme on SABC 3 "Special Assignment" it became very obvious how bad the real situation is with these women.

Dying like flies, these women still don't seem to understand that they need to be part of the system, they need birth certificates for their children, ID Books and all other papers that prove that they are in fact alive.

What I don't understand, surely these people have to be registered somewhere, these children that are being born need to be registered.

So how do we make it easier to educate these people, one thought is (which is mine) is that Home Affairs offices need to be set up in the rural areas, education programmes at the school need to be put in place, more root development.

Im not sure of the answer to this solution, but what is sure they are not being educated, they are not getting the necessary assistance, and they are definately not getting to be part of the growth and the development of South Africa.
