Empowering Communities through Health Education and Peace Initiatives
At GWSD, we are committed to fostering grassroot awareness campaigns that disseminate vital information and educate women and youth about critical health issues such as HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Reproductive Health, Malaria, and other related areas. We provide care and support for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), Parents and Adolescents Affected by AIDS (PABA), and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). Our campaigns actively combat discrimination and stigmatization of PLWHA, promoting a more inclusive and understanding society.
In addition to our health initiatives, we are dedicated to peace resolution. We employ conceptualized methods and processes to resolve conflicts, facilitating peaceful endings and promoting harmony within our communities.
Join us in our mission to create healthier, more peaceful communities. Together, we can make a difference.
Promoting Gender Equity and Social Well-being through Comprehensive Policies and Supportive Measures
At GWSD, we are committed to mainstreaming gender perspectives in all our policies and programs. We believe in the power of systematic gender analysis at all levels of government to promote equity and social order. Our approach aligns with the principles of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which we strive to enforce in all our initiatives.
We also recognize the importance of providing and promoting social, psychological, and psychosocial support for young people. Our programs are designed to empower them, enhance their well-being, and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in today’s world.
Join us as we work towards creating a more equitable and inclusive society, where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Empowering Women: The Cornerstone of Development and Progress
