A Peer Educator in Nargas village outside of Morrumbala, Zambezia, gives a lecture to her peers on HIV/AIDS prevention methods. Volunteers like Ana are members of the communities in which they work, and are trained and supported in their local behavior change communication (BCC) activities by a vast provincial-wide network built through the Ogumaniha SCIP program in Zambezia. Ogumaniha means “united for a common purpose” in the local Chuabo language, and Ogumaniha's overall goal is “to improve health and livelihoods of children, women and families in the Province of Zambezia."
[Ogumaniha SCIP Zambezia is supported by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) under USAID’s Strengthening Communities through Integrated Programming (SCIP) grant, and is implemented by World Vision in partnership with ADRA, IRD, JHUCCP, and the Mozambican Red Cross.]
The photos in this gallery are a selection of some of the highlight photos taken by Sarah Day Smith for PEPFAR Mozambique. These images and the various projects and partners they depict represent myriad aspects of PEPFAR's work, and specifically the many ways this initiative is successfully combating HIV/AIDS in Mozambique. They also represent a host of amazing people impacted by, or impacting others' lives through, this work. Truly, these photos are both an acknowledgement of the difficult realities of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, as well as the resilience, hope, and triumphant spirit of Mozambicans overcoming this disease - whether by living positively or remaining negative.
