Today, we joined the world in commemorating World AIDS Day at Mahlangatja Inkhundla under the theme "Nkwe! Eswatini Taking the Rights Path to End AIDS." This year's theme emphasizes the importance of addressing inequalities and advocating for human rights, particularly for marginalized communities. By ensuring equitable access to healthcare, prevention, and support services, we aim to break the stigma surrounding HIV fostering a future filled with hope and equality for all.

28/11/2024

As we prepare for World AIDS Day on December 1st, Georgetown University Center for Global Health Practice and Impact (GU CGPHI) through PEPFAR/CDC funding successfully conducted an AIDS Day campaign in Sitsatsaweni, a community under the Lugongolweni Inkhundla, where GU CGPHI implements the DREAMS program under the BLOSSOM project. The event, held under the national theme “Nkwe! Eswatini Taking the Rights Path to Ending AIDS,” attracted over 250 participants, including key stakeholders such as SWAGAA, Young Heroes, and World Vision.

The program featured impactful speakers, edutainment, and discussions centered on rights, while also providing essential health services to the public. A significant focus of the event was the community's role and rights in preventing new HIV infections. The Lubombo Public Health Matron, Absalom Maziya, emphasized vital rights that empower individuals to protect themselves against HIV and curb its transmission, stating, “These rights include access to health services and treatment for those living with HIV. For those who are HIV-negative, it’s crucial to consider Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), while HIV-positive individuals should adhere to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART).” He also encouraged the community to follow the Ministry of Health’s recommendations to prevent new HIV infections.

In addition, the Lubombo Regional AIDS Coordinator, Sabelo Khoza, called on parents to allow their children to access PrEP services and addressed concerns regarding intimate partner violence driven by the dependency of adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) on older males. He noted, “The region is experiencing a rise in unplanned pregnancies and intergenerational s*x, which contribute to the spread of HIV alongside poverty. I encourage everyone, especially the youth, to exercise their rights to access health services and get tested for HIV.”

The event concluded with a candlelight ceremony led by NERCHA, symbolizing hope and remembrance for those affected by HIV/AIDS.

We are proud to announce the graduation of four beneficiaries from our DREAMS program, funded by PEPFAR/CDC, who successfully completed their training at Mpaka Vocational School. The DREAMS beneficiaries began their journey with sessions focused on HIV prevention and then progressed to the economic strengthening component, enrolling in various trades such as plumbing, welding, and sewing.

The event was graced by the presence of the Acting Principal Secretary from the Ministry of Education and Training.

We are also pleased to announce that one of our graduates received special recognition for her outstanding performance in practical assessments and was awarded a start-up kit by the institution in acknowledgment of her dedication and effort.

Today, we celebrated a significant occasion as we handed over a mobile kitchen to our DREAMS beneficiaries from Mafutseni Inkhundla, the Yummito team. This initiative was made possible by Georgetown University Center for Global Health Practice and Impact (GU CGHPI) through funding from PEPFAR/CDC. The DREAMS initiative aims to empower adolescent girls and young women with HIV prevention knowledge while fostering economic independence.

During the handover event, the GU CGHPI Country Resident Director, Dr Samson Haumba stated, "Investing in our girls is investing in the future of our nation." He emphasized that the DREAMS program seeks to instill hope in those who feel hopeless. Its goals are to foster resilience, support individuals in becoming self-reliant, and equip them with knowledge about HIV prevention as well as economic skills for effectively managing their lives.

Indvuna Yenkhundla, Mduduzi Mndzebele, speaking on behalf of the Mafutseni Member of Parliament, expressed gratitude for the support from GU CGHPI through PEPFAR/CDC funding. He highlighted the program's significant impact on job creation and poverty alleviation in the constituency.

"We are thankful for the work GU CGHPI is doing in our community. Their efforts address important health issues while also creating essential employment opportunities. This holistic approach is exactly what we need," he stated. He also pledged the constituency's continued support for this valuable partnership.

Yummito team also expressed their gratitude, sharing how the program has transformed their lives. They remarked, "Before DREAMS, we were idle, but now we have a business to run and a future to look forward to." They added that the mobile kitchen will help them run their business more efficiently.

With over 4,000 adolescent girls and young women reached through the DREAMS program and over 600 empowered through economic strengthening, the DREAMS program continues to make a significant impact on the lives of young women in Mafutseni Inkhundla.
