What inspires you to work in the HIV field?
My inspiration to work in the HIV field is creating a positive change and improving the lives of people in need, as well as empowering young people in the community and reducing stigma.
What are your goals as an IAS change maker?
My goals are to:
1. Empower young people in the community through encouraging hands-on skills that provide both emotional and financial growth. Reduce stigma among young people living with HIV through community engagement.
2. Provide the required information about HIV to young people in my community.
3. Reach out to sex workers in the community to ensure safe sexual practices, hence reducing transmission of HIV among their clients.
