Une brave femme qui travaille sur terrain pose un problème qu’elle rencontre sur terrain, à savoir que la demande très forte de ses bénéficiaires s’avère être l’utilisation du préservatif comme mode de protection. Etant acquise aux valeurs religieuses, elle demande, gênée, l’avis de ses leaders au plus haut niveau comment elle devrait s’y prendre devant une telle situation. Croyant qu’ils allaient assister à une réprimande ou à une situation conflictuelle, les participants ont été soulagés…

         Les participants ont comparé l’autoévaluation à une histoire des singes qui avaient envahi  la population et ravageaient les chèvres. Comme moyen de s’en débarrasser, les leaders de  la population attrapèrent un petit d’un singe sur lequel ils mirent au coup des clochettes « INZOGERA » (sortes de pièces métalliques). Quand les singes  revinrent et envahirent le village, la population  lâcha le petit singe qui  rejoignit ses parents. Ceux-ci croyant que ce sont des chiens…

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. C’est un endroit calme retiré de la capitale du Rwanda ce qui fait que beaucoup des gens y vont pour se reposer surtout les week-ends. La vie sexuelle dans cette petite ville ne passe pas inaperçue aux jeunes en tant qu’une population aa haut risque.

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…

I was so glad that a platform was created at our working place, for us to come together, bi-weekly, to share our way of thinking and working, in line with the PRINCIPLES of SALT. 

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…

Maybe you can use this to advocate your project to an influential person who only believes in a religion but is not interested in working to reduce the vulnerability of a young person to HIV. It worked for us.
