Just like last year, October has been a busy month for GEMINI. Our organization has been instrumental in facilitating acquisition of bursary funds from the government for orphans from HIV/Aids affected families.
Since the introduction of Constituency Development Fund (CDF) some three years ago, we have assisted more than 40 orphans access the funds.
This month alone, we have done the same for 8 more orphans.
With plans for the December World Aids Day in high gear, our volunteers have stepped up their door-to-door campaigns, sensitizing families about free ARVs in public hospitals. In the first three weeks of October, we referred 19 PLWHA to care centers.
Starting next week, we will be going from one residential estate to another to offer public education on Home Based care. Our personnel will encourage affected families to form social support groups which are vital in providing care, counseling and pyschosocial support.
Thanks to your continued support, GEMINI can confidently look towards the future with a smile!
