Christine is a 26 year old single mother of 2 living at Boroli Refugee settlement of Adjumani. She is HIV/AIDs positive and was severely traumatised. Christine like many refugee women living with HIV/AIDS has faced a lot of stigma and isolation from the community. She and her two children have entirely been reliant on food aid from World Food Program. This affected their health status due to poor nutrition.
Having supported christine through counselling, Voice for Humanity Uganda recently provided farming tools and vegetable seeds to Chritine so as to enable her to grow her own food to supplement their diet. Christine was so happy to receive an assortment of handheld hoe, panga, gamboots and assorted seeds of tomatoes and cow pease. 'With these support, atleast i will be able to have two or three meals a day as we have only been having one meal a day'. Christine hopes that she will be able to sell some and earn income to meet other basic needs for herself and her children including school fees. 'This is going to help us earn extra income to support with education of my children'. Atleast we have hope a gain', said christine.
We continue to provide counseling and other support to women and girls living with HIV/AIDs whose health would otherwise have been compromised but ca have renewed hope in life. We are grateful to individuial partners like you that make this possible.
