Single Moms Lifeskills Training

This year Chikumbuso has decided to add a project for single moms between the ages of 15-24. Statistically, woman between the ages of 15 and 24 are at the highest risk of becoming infected with HIV. These women have a difficult time negotiating their role in society and thus have poor self-esteem. Most of these at risk women are uneducated about the dangers and reality of HIV and suffer greatly because of their lack of basic knowledge about prevention and treatment. Chikumbuso realized the enormous need for help in this community of women and began a program to teach these women tailoring classes, cookery, life skills, and AIDS counseling.
