The reality we face
PWRDF partners have been addressing the devastating impact of HIV and AIDS for years through a series of community led health promotional programs that are responsive to cultural sensitivities and real life situations.
Springs Ministries, based in Kisumu Kenya, works with widows, orphans and security guards. Its mission is to empower their focus group by helping them identify, develop and exploit skills necessary to negotiate support for self-reliance through the creation of facilities and frameworks to promote the same.
“It is heartbreaking to see the children left behind as orphans…and the young widows who have only experienced two years or less of marriage…that is the reality we are faced with today.� -- Margaret Auma
