Women living with AIDS in Africa face many difficulties, from generating a steady income to planning an uncertain future for their families—even to communicating with their families given the stigma of AIDS. This project, in giving skills for paper-making to 10 NACWOLA members who will train women in their own communities, will provide much-needed income. The paper will create Memory Books, which help children cope with losing a parent, and educate them on AIDS and its effects.
We will be providing resources and assistance for the training of 10 NACWOLA women and establishment of the business. Additionally, documentation of the training process will allow for future expansion and marketing materials for scaling up.
Total Funding Received to Date: $1,060
This project is now in implementation and no longer available for funding. Received funds will be used to accomplish concrete objectives as indicated in the project's "Activities" section. Updates will be posted under the "Project Report" tab as they become available.
Donors' contributions and pledges to this project totaled $1,060 . The original project funding goal was $4,000.
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
This project can reach thousands of women within the 60,000+ NACWOLA network by providing skills, jobs, and support of their families through Memory Books. Both the organization and the industry will continue to expand and impact families in Africa.
”As a ‘God sent’ chance, I was lucky to have been one of the members selected to be trained in the memory project work…[which] helped to break barriers to my openness/disclosure on HIV/AIDS issues.”
