Au sein de la Paroisse Bubazi, se trouvant dans la région Synodale de Remera- Rukoma, les hommes ne participent pas activement dans la lutte contre le VIH/Sida, témoin en est que très peu des hommes rejoignent les associations et coopératives œuvrant dans le domaine de lutte contre le Sida. Quand les paroissiens ont remarqué ce problème, ils ont réagit et ont convoqué une réunion seulement composée des hommes pour les sensibiliser et les faire comprendre l’importance et leur degré…

Rubengera/Kibuye se trouve à l’extrémité limitrophe du pays du Rwanda tout près du lac Kivu.

Lors de notre visite et session d’auto évaluation, les jeunes nous ont raconté qu’ils ont pris conscience de ce problème et commencent à faire la…

Those who were able to make it came together in fellowship of the BEYOND COMMUNITY, sharing experiences and supporting one another. 

Last session, we came together to share on the POWER of APPRECIATION. We shared on how we have appreciated others and what impact it has, and how others have…

Yesterday I met with Sirinate, a constellation member with a long history of applying ACP and CLCP in many different contexts. We met in the beautiful city of Bandung, where we were joined by Wiwin. Our meeting was to discuss the facilitation of some upcoming events for a partnership the Constellation has entered into with World Fish Centre, around livelihoods and aquatic ecosystems. But, for me, the meeting was much more than…

NGOs often undertake various community based awareness, peer education activities and home visits as part of ongoing care and support effort for people living with HIV.

Health Nest Uganda entered into partnership with The Constellation in December 2011 to introduce the Community Life Competence Process (CLCP) to Uganda.  It was agreed that two workshops be held in January 2012 and April 2012 respectively.  As part of the workshop in January, participants paid a SALT visit to the community of Katabi.

Arriving in the community, we parked our vehicle near the home of an older person whom we did not specifically plan to visit and moved out into…

What is my  journey? What is my motivation? What do I get out of it?

But, After a year of using case management approach, which is mostly one to one as individual, or to one family and getting of impression of how secularized the people here,…
