Gertrude

Christine and Simon
Christine and her husband, Simon, are both HIV positive. They have 7 children and 5 are enrolled in a nearby primary school. Their main occupation is peasant farming and sometimes hiring out labor in other people’s farms. Taking care of this big family, including meeting their education as well medical bills, hasn’t been easy. They struggle to make ends meet on a daily basis since there isn’t any stable source of income.
Christine and Simon send their thanks and prayers for choosing them to benefit from this program and they promise to work hard to bring up their family. Your support of our livestock and agricultural project means so much to this dear family. You have made it possible for them to start making a life for themselves and to send their children to school. It may seem like just a start, but it's an incredible blessing for Christine and Simon.
Thank you for your support as we help families like this one and so many more. You give them hope! If you have questions or are interested in learning more about this program or others, please contact Tanya Weaver at tweaver@afcaids.org.

Training 1
Our partner in Uganda recently held a training session for families on improved agricultural productivity and animals to improve household incomes and address malnutrition. The trainings included a question and answer time, sharing of testimonies, self-reflections and interactions, role plays, lectures and demonstrations. Both in class and field sessions were carried out on the different crops and animal both practical and theories.
Field trainings were conducted to have hands-on knowledge in the identification of different diseases and pests for crops and animal diseases, how to treat and manage them locally, to practice crop spacing and animals housing construction and hygiene.
Thanks to your donations to support this livestock and agricultural project, these families are learning how to properly care for their crops and their animals. Please know that your generosity is truly making a difference in the lives of these families and many more in our program. With our partners on the ground, the children and their families receive the support and monitoring they need to make this a very successful project. We are changing lives day after day. These families feel your love, and so do we at the American Foundation for Children with AIDS.
