ROWAN conducted an HIV seminar created by CUAHA: Churches United Against HIV and AIDS. Staff member David Wafula and two other trainers facilitated the 60 community leaders from the region. There was a total of 17 Chapters that were spread across 3 days–from advocacy to compassion, leadership to church involvement and empowerment. According to the statistic, 300 Ugandans are infected by HIV and 170 die of AIDS EVERY DAY. Therefore, it is essential to share and have the knowledge of HIV/AIDS across the country.
It was a unique seminar where villagers talked openly–even the women spoke freely about how to protect oneself against HIV/AIDS and how it can be transmitted. At the end of the seminar, certificates were given out to the participants, but on one condition! Each participant must go out and help one person within their own community living with HIV/AIDS.
ROWAN couldn’t be more proud to have hosted such an enlightening and successful event.
