This year we have many plans which hopefully with your support will help us achieve our mission and vision. There is a Swahili proverb that states, “kidole kimoja hakivunji chawa” this translates to: one finger cannot kill a lice, therefore alone we cannot succeed, we need as much support as we can get from every one, everywhere.
Also unity is strength and divided we fall, therefore whatever you do to help Hatua help the Likoni community please feel free and you shall be blessed. Gabrielle Fondiller, Co-founder of Hatua has this to say, “ I would like to thank all our supporters for making 2012 a success. We are excited and welcome you all 2013 to support us as mentors or other ways.”
This year among other projects, Hatua Likoni is putting into action the project, Total War Against AIDS (TOWA), where government has given grants to Hatua at a constituency level to help in Behaviour Change Communication Targeting Youth.
This project stands for zero tolerance against AIDS. Hatua Form Four leavers have been trained as trainers to go and educate other students and the entire community on how to reduce the spread of AIDS, avoid stigmatization and teach those who are positive how to live positively.
“Behaviour is learnt and it can be unlearnt,” so we are aiming to help them unlearn the dysfunctional behaviour,” says the Mentoring and Career Guidance Coordinator, Winnie. Having this in mind, it’s good to know that the government is recognizing what Hatua Likoni is doing for the community and supporting us. But, we would like it to be known that Hatua Likoni is not inflicted to any political party or individual.
We pray for 2013 to be a year of great success, a lot of love, care, helping and living in peace. We at Hatua Likoni plan on spreading this throughout Likoni and everywhere else, a wise man said that charity begins at home.
