SAWA is making moves! We've just partnered with Working To Empower, an international NGO working with local community leaders in refugee camps across Africa to promote HIV/AIDS education. SAWA is excited to be connected to this NGO composed of partnerships with inspiring grassroots organizations in countries like Tanzania, Benin, Ethiopia, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.Working To Empower's core vision lies in community-based empowerment, and its focus is on ensuring communities have access to the knowledge, skills and tools to educate each other, and other communities, about HIV/AIDS. At SAWA, we look forward to being connected with, and sharing with you, the amazing local heroes Working To Empower has come in contact over the years.
In the next few weeks, Logan Cochrane, the founder of Working to Empower, will be traveling through the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania to connect with local community leaders in various refugee camps, training them to be HIV/AIDS educators. And in line with Working To Empower's vision of promoting community-designed/community-led positive change fostering projects, the trips will also provide clear and concrete insight into local needs and how Working To Empower can facilitate the implementation of local projects. SAWA's partnership with Working To Empower, which has connections to over 600 local community organizations, mostly in Africa, is a gateway to a world of inspiring stories. Through Logan's help, we hope to spread the word about SAWA to these heroes, to let them know we are here to tell their stories and connect them with the world.
