Activities With African Leadership Institute

HIV/AIDS PREVENTION, TREATMENT, CARE AND SUPPORT

The influx of South Sudanese Refugees to West Nile Region has both positive and negative impacts on both the host and refugee communities. As such, 73rd Parliament Charity Organization in partnership with African Leadership Institute has conducted a baseline survey on the HIV/Aids prevalence in the refugee settlement camps. The program areas are Yumbe, Arua and Koboko Districts Refugee Settlements Camps with an estimated population of about 400 people. About 70% of both the host and the refugee community are highly impoverished and vulnerable. Consequent to that, young people stand a high risk of engaging in dubious sexual activities which makes them vulnerable.
