 HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT IDENTIFYING THIS 

PROBLEM? 

• The monthly reports showed that the is an increase of people living with HIV and AIDS.

• Women are not supported much by men.

• The burden women have to carry on 

carry due to the pandemic.• The number of house holds that 

women have to look after on their own.If the is a partner he is not a reliable 

 person.

IS THIS ISSUE IMPORTANT? 

•This issue is so important. Women are mostof the time left behind to take care what menhave left uncompleted.

•They are the ones who go an extra mile

sometimes without complaining in trying tosave life.

•Upbringing of children is most of the time

reliant to women.

WHO IS THE KEY TARGET? WHO IS INVOLVED? ARE WOMEN AND MEN EQUALLY INVOLVED? 

   P   R   O   J   E   C   T   S  :   S   U   P   P   O   R   T

 

CARE and SUPPORT 

• The community is the target.

• Women and men are involved but women are the ones more involved in 

the project.• Men are most of the time not willing to 

look after projects where money is not much involved. They become laggards in  projects of support.

CREATIVITY: ARE YOU USING ARTS, CULTURE, MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO POPULARISE THE 

ISSUES? 

• Culture has been used to see if in the  past it was done the same way as it is done today.

• Drama is used to show the importance of support and discussions follow after.

• Face book is used but it not much effective as most of our target are adults who are not on face book.

SUSTAINABILITY AND REPLICATION 

• It can, as we do it we involve others 

and we are open for helping others.The people honour it, so its hard not to be sustained.

The are other new projects like Moyamunye which was formed after seeing that other women have been successful in their projects.    P
