HIV+ women empowerment project in Kenya
Volunteer with a cooperative HIV+ women empowerment project
Location: outside Nairobi, Kenya
Weeks: 2 - 12
Code: Ke_CI_HIV+
Project Description:
This collective has been operating in a suburb of a small town outside Nairobi since 1998.
It was established by HIV+ women to support each other in creating self-employment through a range of business.
Local women continue to join together to build their own self-employment opportunities to free themselves and their families from the economic effects of being stigamtised for being HIV+
They run workshops, and a school where their children are taught. Your volunteering can range from supporting the various business enterprises and the women’s work, to teaching the women’s children. This will engage you in a range of practical, management, youth and social work activities.
You will stay in the organisation’s dedicated accommodation.
