Human Rights First Rwanda Association carries out monthly outreach programs in the different sectors of Kamonyi district in a bid to educate and raise awareness in the whole society on the plight of the HIV/AIDS and on the rights of people with this disease. 

Raising awareness and educating the masses helps change the negative mindset otherwise associated with the disaese and the people affected with it especially the women, 

This monthly outreach programs are carried out by the staff of our organisation and the 3rd year law students of our partner university, the Kigali Lay Adventists University who benefit from the programs by getting exposed to the community issues and understanding better through putting in practice what they learn in school and helping the people in the community. 

These outreach programs have gone along way in not only making people realise the HIV/AIDS is a disease lika any other and not a curse but also helped paved a way for the women living with this disease to live more freely in the society becuas they are now more confident to live among other without fear of discrimination.
