HIV Mother

HIV Mother

Rwanda fosters many wounds. The genocide left hundreds of thousands of women widows. In addition the scourge of HIV is rife. Men infect their partners and oftenleave, or themselves die an untimely death. And so the pain is doubled. This woman is one such victim. She has a daughter who was raped at 14 and thus has also become a single mother. She has another child who is also HIV. Despite this, she has adopted 2 genocide orphans. They all live together in abject poverty.

    Melinda, you have certainly captured her weariness. Great to hear what you are doing and how you are supporting people in Congo and Rwanda. It is very familiar to me – we worked in tanzania for many years, especially with HIV, but without the background of conflict and chaos in the countries you are familiar with.. Thanks for these photos.
