AttThrough the Eyes of Refugees

10 refugees from the Kiziba Refugee Camp in Kibuye, Rwanda were trained with basic digital camera skills by American artist Kresta K.C. Venning who partnered with AHA for this capacity building initiative. 4 female and 6 male students between the ages of 19-26 received the four day training over a period of two weeks at no cost to them.

Food distribution is an important part of our relief program. AHA is one of few indigenous organizations providing food and supplementary foods in dire conflict situations such as Darfur and Mogadishu.

The comprehensive involvement of women is critical to reducing poverty and bringing peace to Africa. An empowered woman is equipped with choices and resources to make life-saving decisions for her and her family. Such freedom comes with the ability to generate one’s own income; with the choices of if and when to have children; if and when to take on a spouse. To enable poverty stricken and displaced women have the freedom of choice, AHA provides capacity enhancing and income generating training free of charge. Women are also provided with reproductive health education and various contraceptive options.
