Welcome To Nacwola - We are not the Problem, but part of the solution
The National Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (NACWOLA) was founded in 1992. NACWOLA promotes positive living for women with HIV and AIDS in Uganda through the provision of psycho-social support, economic empowerment and advocating for access to essential services including treatement. The main beneficiaries are women living with HIV and AIDS and their immediate families, especially children infected and or affected by HIV and AIDS. The organisation has 30 branches and over 60,000 members across the country.
It’s safe to say that NACWOLA’s work in 2009 was probably needed more than ever. With an economic head wind, actions of solidarity acquire a deeper resonance. Thanks to our cooperation with national and international organisations over this past year we have managed to support exactly those who are the first to feel the brunt of HIV/AIDS: The most vulnerable Women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHIV) Download 2009 Annual Report

Out of many agencies which were shown the materials, NACWOLA immediately recognized the potential value for its members, many of whom were struggling with how to talk openly with their children and prepare them for the future.
