The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Kenya has been a tragedy for the people lost in its wake. Those left behind continue to face hardships, not least to do with the stigma, discrimination and misunderstanding that has invaded the community. For a tribe traditionally accustomed to polygamy, wife inheritance and other practices, the relatively new mix of Christianity and also the HIV/AIDS epidemic is a complex and sensitive situation. Positive Aid recently supported a religious stakeholders workshop which successfully opened up dialogue between key local people and worked on ways Churches and our health projects can help each other. They tackled difficult issues which are hard to discuss, in a spirit of participation, understanding and the common objective of everyone to find ways of making the community healthier and more unified. While there are no hard and fast solutions to such a giant challenge, initiatives like this workshop are vital to move towards a better future. Congratulations go to the local organisers and participants for their courage and commitment in making the event a success.
