Thank you for empowering our women in the fight against HIV/AIDS, in relations to violence against women. May more women out there be given achance to fight for there rights. MayGod bless your work and make you bring more women to the fight. AWDF-Uganda.
We are happy to hear of you…and will be excited to be in collaboration in supporting our project also. Thanks
You are really doing a very recommendable job. But the only problem is how to access this funding
We’ve started doing this task in the Muzabula remote area of solwezi town in the North-Western Province of Zambia. The reason for this is that many women are being battered by their husbands or boy friends even being murdered; recently one woman’s throat was cut by the husband. We need this to stop, all we need is your help in monitory form.
nice to hear that from you as we look forward to make this day meaningful to the public
you are doing a good job. keep it up
what are efforts being put to bring awareness to other parts/ seems yo cases are rife in uban areas
This is very credible and would actually serve as a life saving venture in Countries which are vulnerable to the disease.
You are doing very well to save the world and God bless you and increase your earning to support AIDS campaign all over Africa.
Where do we send our proposal to? I mean contact person.
I wish my Local NGO will be able to get this fund so that we would be able to implement this project in Sierra Leone West Africa
GREAT WORK FOR PROTECT A WOMAN YOU ARE PROTECTING THE WORLD— WE ARE GLAD TO NETWORK AND SHALL BID
We are having hope that if we are to be given a chance to stand in front of others stigma can stop and clubs can be joined. and we be came one in Hiv/ Aids awareness.
I hope that this good initiative would go run especially to the appropriate people in the grassroots , i means the community -based NGO, who can really pass the information across to the people…

We as Centre for Legal Rights Education, Advocacy and Development – CLREAD appreciate the effort of AWDF, and wish to meet her team during their monitoring Visit in Kenya. it is not all about money but passion to create change among women’s life. we were funded to mark 2011 16 Days of Gender Activism and it was a success for all of us!
We believe as researchers are busy working day and night to find cure for HIV and AIDS, the society should be reminded the fight is still on the goal is a world free from AIDS.
Our NGO works on OVC and gives support to Widows and Aged women. How i wish we have access to this grant to create awereness within the entire community i. e. Owode,Ede- Osun State of Nigeria on violence against women and find means of eradicating it.
To all NGOs supporting AIDS/HIV affected persons,never give up because today is them tomorrow is you.God bless you all.
This is a brilliant idea AWDF. I have asked a colleague to submit a proposal. Luapula Province in Zambia has very high stigma levels and there is need to start involving women to participate fully in such activities.
This is really brilliant! as our mothers and young girls should be informed and empowered to enhance a healthy and wealthy woman beings.
Center for community empowerment will apply for this grant

Iam a health provider and HIV positive for the last ten years.Iam in a discordant relationship which is working well with me.I run a community based organization which main focus is to reduce new infection in our country Kenya especially to new generation.Women who are HIV positive and are in a discordant relationship in my country ,are suffering because they are being divorsed by thier husbands.Most of them do not disclose their status to their husbands for fear of being left alone.This becomes very had for them to protect even their unborn babies.The organization would like to focus on discordant couples and equip them with knowledge and skills to protect their unborn babies.The AWDF is really doing great job by offering funds against violence in women.I saw this abit late,kindly considers us.
I am Youth Leader in Northern Uganda, We are Have form a Community Based Organization call YOUTH FOR LIFE UGANDA . we are working in the following area Greeting from Youth For Life Uganda.

enhance community participation in preservation of environment
,Savings and Credit Schemes ,Free information Sharing ,Income
generating ,Empowerment, Safe Water, Sanitation and other related
developmental activities.
What have seen in the field is that most of the young children are not enrolling for Drugs in the hospital and when we are in the field most of the youth are dying because of fear in their heart .
We have love to Celebrate so that the Young Youth Come up and Share their Testimonies with the people.
Hope your organization will get the fund from AWDF.
Nice Time
I work with women who support pregnant women and children under 5years, ensuring they have safe delivery at health facilities and that children do not die before the age 5. most of this women live with less than one Ghana Cedis a day yet they are determine to improve themselves and their families. they are making their own contributions hoping to get into some economic activities, we are hoping if AWDF can give us support both technical and financially, with it i believe this women will make great difference.
I work with a womens project that produces handy crafts as a volunteer I am also in the process to establish women and youth groups.Tthe HIV commemoration will be most relevant course of action to bringing the groups together and organise the activitiy as a motivational project because it will serve as a mobilization tool for them to appreciate the importance being self employed through the estalbishmet of economic project as a gate way to of financial freedom and sustainability. unemployment and lack of funds alcohol and substance abuse still remains the major contributary factor to the spread of HIV/AID among young people whom in the process passes it on to thier parents through care giving education still remains problem i believe that your organisation will be helpful in addressing the issues.
i look forward to working with your organisation

Your contributions towards HIV Prevention is highly commendable.I think there is need for more collaboration/synergy among development workers especially on HIV/AIDS related issues. Thanks a million times for making provision for World AIDS Day.
We, (take1 Productions), is a Kenyan Independent Video Production house, founded in 2008 by a team of Television Producers / Directors and Radio Journalists, committed to producing & disseminating, Features, News, Documentary and Drama video formats by and with Kenyan children. These products capture and tell about children’s issues as well as how they feel about or are affected by what is going on around them.
We have since moved on to take on other challenges, in production and media to give a chance for the children who are also moving on to keep in touch and be afforded an opportunity to develop their works and talents. Demands for media products has also been growing and there is need to go for more adult productions while giving emphasis to Kenyan children.
We hope we shall one day get an opportunity to get involved in all the wonderful projects that you fund because once recorded, other groups can benefit by seeing/hearing experiences from others
good job and keep it up. i pray to receive a mail for me to forward my plans for my community since my ngo is focused on hiv/aids and ovc and child education.
I love the work you are doing. Supporting women’s rights is the only way to sustainable development. Keep it up.
