Brenda Musonda was only 6 years old when she was confirmed HIV positive in 2004. She lives with her grandparents who have lost all three children and now have 15 dependents. Brenda’s sponsor Steph Bateson, a book buyer for Asda, when told that Brenda had HIV, said that she wanted to make a difference to someone’s life and learning of Brenda’s condition, made it even more worthwhile. The Butterfly Tree is also sponsoring Brenda’s brother Philip.
