The global Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated the existing problems that vulnerable and marginalized people face who include HIV/AIDS positive women. The continued economic hardships have seriously further affected them.
It is against such background that HRFRA launched an initiative that will provide HIV/AIDS positive women with the business/marketing training, technical skills, and self-confidence necessary to run small businesses and also fundraise for their businesses.
15 women have been trained and have acquired skills to run small business so as to support their livelihoods.
The trainings also empowered the beneficiaries on ways of fighting stigma and discrimination and supporting their peers.
With your continued support we will better the lives of this vulnerable women.
