You can support Woza Moya through your donations to ATNI. Woza Moya provides quality community care and support for people infected and affected by HIV/Aids
in the Sisonke district of South Africa . By providing home-based care, orphan intervention and food security, Woza Moya aims to alleviate hunger, poverty and suffering through a holistic approach taking into account a person's psychological and spiritual health, as well as his/her physical welfare.
During this past year the challenges have been many, covering a wide range of issues, from poverty, gender discrimination, sexual abuse, HIV/Aids stigma and denial in this community, to government departments not delivering services, to our own increasingly demanding administration and financial requirements.
Poverty and food security has been one of our greatest challenges. Many families are without food and no means of income. More often than not these families are nursing sick people and housing orphaned children too. Food is the most immediate and urgent need in these homes. Often these people who are poor, hungry and sick are also depressed, having given up all hope.
Even though HIV/Aids is still not openly spoken about in this community, we have seen some definite progress in one-on-one counselling situations. Our volunteers have reported more patients discussing, in private with them, their concerns about their HIV status. Every month our volunteers are reporting more people who are willing to talk and receive visits from our HIV/Aids counsellors. We are hopeful that in this forthcoming year we will be able to facilitate the beginning of a few HIV/Aids support groups in this community.
