HIV/AIDS & Community
Health Focus
S
AWSO works with local communities
to im-
plement health programs and promote prevention
through education. Whether it be HIV/AIDS in
Zambia or Haiti, maternal and child health in Kenya or
Tanzania or malaria and polio in Malawi or Angola, these
represent only a portion of SAWSO's work in the commu-
nity health field.
Janet lives with her husband and seven children in a
fishing camp in Zambia. Her husband had refused to be
tested for HIV, believing witchcraft was the cause. Due to
the intervention of Caregiver Mrs. Simbayi of the Army's
STEPS OVC program, Janet is now learning about HIV,
how to care for herself and her HIV infected child and how
to prevent the disease from spreading.
Economic Empowerment
& Microfi nance
S
AWSO works to overcome poverty
by providing
economic opportunities for individuals, families and
communities through small loans of money or live-
stock, job training and self-help group programs.
