VFA's
Social
Development Programmes
VFA
also has a strong basis in its Social Development Programs. The
HIV/AIDS and Malaria Campaigns, the women's enterprise programmes
through crafts, the child adoption projects and the ICT for Schools
and community are all making a lasting impact into what volunteers
can contribute to sustainable development in Africa. Meet Teresia
Njeri, the SDM Programme Manager at VFA.

Ms
Teresia has run VFA’s Social Development Programme with much
passion.
She
has been able to establish programmes with women in Kajiado District
in Kenia, through working with groups directly affected by the
HIV/AIDS menace.
The
women can now make crafts for export, thanks to a partnership
between the groups, VFA and the Humanist Movement in Iceland.
Revenue
derived from the sale has supported dozens of families.

The
SD Programme has also been involved in HIV/AIDS and malaria
campaigns around Eburru in Nakuru and in Kibera slums in
Nairobi.
The
Programme also promotes various forms of enterprise development such
as beekeeping and cultivation of efficient crops such as Vanilla and
fast maturing banana’s.
Teresia
will be glad to explain more about her work at VFA, especially with
the disadvantaged women and youth, and with those affected by
HIV/AIDS, and how she is striving to market the crafts the women are
making. Talk to Teresia
