Micro-Enterprise and Skills Training
Economics are at the root of a lot of HIV infection, people living in poverty have to make decisions they never would make if not desperate. Added to that, when someone is living with HIV, holding down a job can be a challenge, stigma in the workplace is often a reality.

Added to that, when someone is living with HIV, holding down a job can be a challenge, employers may "release" HIV positive people if their status becomes known. If health is a struggle and time off is needed for medical appointments that may lead to someone loosing their job.
We want to empower people to have the skills to either run their own businesses or work for employers who are sympathetic to their problems.
We provide small loan to get started in business or to get specialized training. When repayed, the loan will either feed back into the ministry of be re-lent to another needy person.
