Human Rights First Rwanda Association through radio broadcasts and Personal visits to our beneficiaries we have sensitized vulnerable groups to be vaccinated.
They has been so much miss - information on vaccines pertaining to COVID-19 and hence people with immune deficiency and/or HIV have been seriously affected with wrong information about the pandemic.
Through our advocacy and partners vulnerable groups who include women with HIV/AIDS have been accorded by the Government of Rwanda to receive immediate COVID-19 vaccines.
Human Rights First Rwanda Association has also partnered with other stakeholders to sensitize and educate women with HIV/AIDS to take the Covid-19 prevention vaccination and we have provided food and other nutritional supplements to boost our beneficiaries’ immune systems.
Human Rights First Rwanda Association has also supported our beneficiaries with cash handouts to meet other necessities which include sanitary provisions for women with HIV/Aids and with those with disabilities.
With your continued support we shall continue supporting our beneficiaries during this uncertain times.

COVID-19 Humanitarian Aid to women Beneficiaries
Efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 are essential, but should not be used as an excuse to demean vulnerable groups. Respect for human rights is crucial as measures to contain COVID-19 continue.
Human Rights First Rwanda Association launched a humanitarian campaign during this COVID-19 pandemic to support the most vulnerable women living with HIV/Aids in Kamonyi District to access food aid distribution from well-wishers and to be advanced 3 months essential medical supplies of antiretroviral medicines for HIV/AIDS management.
Volunteers of Human rights first Rwanda association provided home delivery of food and antiretroviral therapy and other medicines for people who were unable to access their treatment owing to COVID-19 restrictions.
HRFRA team is also providing counselling and psychosocial support to the women because of the stigma, discrimination, isolation and lack of support networks that could assist them in coping up with the pandemic effects.
Together in this we shall overcome with your support.

Our beneficiaries receiving food donations
The outbreak of COVID-19 virus has had serious devastating effects to our beneficiaries who have previous issues of poor health and face stigma and discrimination.
This has also adversely affected them because of lack of food and hence they are not able to take their antiretroviral medications properly.
Human Rights First Rwanda Association through partners and donors embarked on a Humanitarian drive of mobilizing food stuff and other sanitary materials like soaps and face masks to assist them to cope up with the epidemic.
We also undertook a campaign to urge government that the lockdown would be most effective if carried out not only in accordance with the law, but also hand-in-hand with the fulfillment of the government’s obligation to provide basic goods and services to vulnerable community members. Services should be available to all who are in need, including those living in areas under movement restrictions or under quarantine, those infected with Covid-19, and marginalized groups such as Women with HIV/AIDS and people with disabilities.
We continue to mobilize funds to assist our beneficiaries through your support this initiative will continue to be rolled out.
