Project Needs and Beneficiaries
The project beneficiaries will mainly be girls and women including widows, disabled women, girl children heading families and women in associations of people living with HIV. These are groups of people that are vulnerable to violence and isolation due to their social status. The project will empower the beneficiaries to take a leading role in prevention and management of all the above mentioned issues for their own advancement and security as well as for the community as well.
Activities
We will increase women and girls knowledge of their health rights, in a forum which shows that sport is not just for competition and leisure but a discipline that requires effort and skills that enhance human rights and national development.

Why this Project is Important

This project will give awareness of health rights to 400 women and girls. Plus, we will train 30 coaches and referees who become trainers and can go back to their provinces and continue to make women aware of HIV/Aids prevention & management
Project Message
The 1994 genocide used rape as a weapon of war. About 250,000 women were infected with HIV/AIDS. The consequences are vivid today as many victims live without basic food security or health services
