HERO is a socially responsible condom company, whereby for every condom sold, a condom is donated to a developing country to help fight the spread of HIV/AIDS and save lives. To date, HERO has provided more than ~75,000 condoms locally in Botswana and we are happy to announce that as of September 2015, HERO returned to Botswana to donate a further 500,000 condoms. Not only are we excited to have made this donation and by meeting our continued commitment, but we have spent the time conducting research amongst the people of Botswana in order to provide them with a customised product specifically based on their feedback, both in function and design.

SAFE SEX, SAVES LIVES
A devastating epidemic threatens an entire continent, impacting over 22 million in Sub- Saharan Africa alone. Without proper protection or treatment, the rate of infection is expected to catastrophically grow to 95 million within the next decade. In 2011 1.7 million people died due to AIDS.
Simply by buying HERO Condoms you are contributing to the fight against HIV/AIDS and helping to save lives.
Antiretroviral Treatment
HERO is dedicated to the future by supporting antiretroviral treatment (ART) to expectant mothers. This treatment minimises the chances of the disease being passed on to their new-borns. With the help of our partners YOHO and NACA, HERO is making the future possible for developing countries.
