Thika Prisons

A Global Healthcare Public Foundation spends the Christmas season with children at the Thika Women’s Prison.

 

In keeping with its mission to reach out to the desperate and voiceless, AGHPF in collaboration with Netcare will visit children at the Thika Women’s Prison. During the visit, led by the Foundation President, Prof. Kilian Songwe and members of his staff there will be a donation of gifts to the children as well as food and toiletries for their mothers.

 

Unfortunately, these children ages one month to four years follow their mothers to jail and are incaserated for no crime or fault of theirs. These children sometimes number up to thirty in very small living quarters.

 

During this holiday season make a donation to help feed these children.

CHANGE MAKER’S PROJECT-CAMEROON

 

Engaging young men in the fight against HIV/AIDS

 

VCT- Exercise: This project was designed by young men (18-25 years) for young men across the N.W and S.W. provinces in Cameroon to enrich their fellow peers in different communities.

 

The activities included sensitization on HIV/AIDS, sharing different life skills, promoting gender equality, sports. These activities were conducted with farmers, drivers, teachers, out-of-school youths small businesses, carpenters and a wide range of other willing participants from their different communities.

 

With financial support from AGHPF, these youths were able to carry out HIV testing in their communities and tested nearly seven hundred youths (298 males and 366 females) with 48 testing positive.

 

This exercise compliments the Foundation’s “R U +VE” campaign which screens thousands of people in Resource poor area every year at no cost to them.
