WHO

Yabonga supports women, men and children infected or directly affected by HIV/Aids. Furthermore, we highly focus on child and youth development components.

WHAT

Yabonga trains women and men who are living with HIV with skills to enable them to become educators and lay counsellors at Yabonga Support Centres, which are based at clinics in communities where they live. What makes the Yabonga programme unique in its service delivery is that all educators and counsellors are HIV positive themselves and therefore are able to convey first hand information to their clients.

WHY

Our vision is to provide a sustainable model of holistic care and support to families and communities affected by HIV to enable them to live independent, productive, healthy lives. To achieve this we build effective partnerships with impoverished families and communities affected by HIV, reducing the impact through psycho-social support, education and skills development. More recently the focus of our work has shifted away from solely HIV related services, to give greater attention to the child and youth development components in our programmes. With a stronger emphasis on education, we are now providing holistic care to children and youth including academic support, counseling and play therapy, as well as physical wellbeing.
