Kazigo B gets it first ever HIV testing day in the village!!

Nabirye (seen in photo) is a 40 year-old mother of four children who lives in Kazigo B village in Uganda. Through your generosity, UVP recently launched a project in the village that will provide support to its residents for the next three years and offer yearly testing clinics for HIV/AIDS and STIs.

Nabirye and her entire family decided to take advantage of this opportunity. “We all came to test today,” she said smiling. “Uganda Village Project came into the village a few months ago, and my co-wives, my husband and myself agreed that we should all get tested. I also encouraged my neighbor to come. It is good to know your status.”

“I am happy for the opportunity Uganda Village Project and their donors have given us, by bringing testing to our village. They test at the local health center but it is far, about one and a half hours away, so walking there can sometimes be tiresome. Bringing testing to us is good and we are grateful.”

Nabirye and the community members of Kazigo B Village are thankful to you all for your kind support.
