 Temwa has recently secured funding from the T.J. Meyer Family Foundation for several extensive HIV and AIDS projects, which will be implemented during 2009. This includes providing mobile voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) clinics to a minimum of 200 individuals in ten locations across Usisya over a period of ten months. Currently, approximately 11,000 people live over an hour's walk from the only VCT clinic in Usisya, with some people living up to nine hours away. Mobile VCT clinics are something Temwa has been asked to provide by communities in Usisya and we are happy to now be in a position to deliver them.

Second PFP Film Project |
|

Temwa is currently finalizing a proposal and seeking funding to produce and nationally distribute an HIV and AIDS-awareness film throughout Malawi aimed at children of primary school age. In Malawi, there is just a one per cent prevalence rate of HIV in children in the age group 5 to 12 years, leading it to be described as the ‘window of hope’. If these children can be reached and taught how to protect themselves against HIV and AIDS before they reach puberty, the result could be a dramatic overall reduction in the prevalence of the disease, and even the containment of the epidemic.
