Life
in the village can be complicated. In partnership with our supporters, Uganda
Village Project offers access to education, services, and tools to make it
easier to create a healthier future. Sometimes that comes in small steps, like
a woman who can choose to control her own decisions to stay healthy and
informed, even if those around her are not taking advantage of the same
services.Jane, a mother of three, who recently attended an HIV outreach shared her story:
"I
would like to thank Uganda Village Project for bringing these services closer
to our communities. Our village is far away from Namungalwe health center III
(where she could receive services). My husband is married to two women, and
being the first wife, I am not sure about my co-wife's HIV status. We all live
in different places, making it impossible to encourage one another to come for
testing. I have always encouraged my husband to come for testing but he does
not want to do so. Because of the constant worry, I go for voluntary counseling
and testing services whenever I get a chance to do so. Throughout the time UVP
came to work in our village, I and my kids have benefited from all the services
offered.”
Your support empowered Jane to
take her health into her own hands. Thank you to all those who support UVP from
near and far. Jane appreciates you!
