With whom does LWR work in Africa?

Impoverished farmers (especially farmers living below the subsistence levels) living in impoverished rural communities vulnerable to challenges of man-made and natural disasters.

People living with HIV/AIDS and those affected by the epidemic like orphans, widows and widowers

Focus Areas:

The Africa regional offices have identified three areas of work that reflect LWR’s values and expertise and respond to significant human need:

• HIV/AIDS prevention (which includes behavior-change communication) and strengthening community capacity to support people living with HIV/AIDS and those affected by it
  
• Food security from both farm-based and off-farm activities
  
• Empowerment of communities and social equity for all, particularly women
