                              Background

 

Zanoncedo Empowerment Center (NPO Reg no: 069-023)  is a Non-profit Organization registered in 2009 by women infected and affected by HIV/ Aids. The Center initially focused on HIV prevention, home-based care and promoting self-management to those already infected.

 

It has been proven through research that HIV does not only need medical intervention, there are social determinants of health that should be tackled in order to combat HIV/Aids, the board decided to expand programs and focus more on women and girls development, advocating for gender equality and gender-based violence.

 

In 2012 the board decided to expand and render a comprehensive package of services including advocacy for women development and empowerment, gender equality and elimination of gender-based violence, access to sexual reproductive health rights for women and girls with HIV and those at risk, poverty alleviation, scholar support, young women and girls development and Orphans and Vulnerable children support services.
