Raising Awareness in Coventry
HIV & AIDS
During our workshop on the 4/09/2024, we had a great opportunity to educate women and young girls about HIV & AIDS. Following the feedback, they gained knowledge and skills that will influence good choices that they will have to make in life. This will protect them and encourage them to be testing ✍🏼
We attended an Amazing conference "BELONG" Which was all about how to support children with special needs, such as autism , dyslexia, visual impairment and more ....... in our community. Thank you Elim church for organising . It was awesome
African women have always been the backbone of our society, and it is time for us to recognize their worth and empower them to reach their full potential.
