ABDIFATAH ISMAEL IBRAHIM says:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Somali Welfare Organization (SWO) is an active national organization
that has claimed almost national recognition due to its social,
economic and rehabilitative development initiatives.
The organization was initially registered as a welfare organization in
Lower Shabelle in January, 2005.
The organization is a non-profit, non-racial, non-philosophical
focusing on poverty eradication, fight against chronic hunger and to
empower the low income earners, vulnerable, women and children and to
improve human welfare in Somalia.
Moreover since the famine hit Somalia the situation is getting
worse every day and the people are dying every minute, the drought
situation in some areas are very bad where the pastoralist communities started moving towards the big cities looking for food and water. Even though some area have got enough raining,
there is no chance of farming because of the luck of seeds, and the farmers left their homes to seek a refuge in the neighboring countries and the big cities like Mogadishu.
Somali Welfare Organization would like to seek your collaboration to design a new strategy of water irrigation to the pastoralists and the small farmers in southern Somalia, to give back a new chance of live to those small farmers and pastoralists who lost their goods in this bad famine.
Looking forward for your collaboration,
Best regards,

We have been involved in the ministry and project of sending used and items such as books, computers, bedding, linen, clothes etc to the very needy people of Ntsoma Village in the Insiza district in Zimbabwe for the last 2 years.We are called THE DUMI PROJECT and have an emergency situation and in desperation, ask that you to consider whether you might be able to help with emergency any financial donation to help us ship the items to Zimbabwe.
We have been collecting items such as books, computers, school furniture, bedding, linen etc. for a deprived and appalling situation in Ntsoma Community and children of the Mapengani Primary School in the Insiza district of Zimbabwe for the past one and half years and managed to finance the project, some myself and also with the help of others, have now collected about 20 tonnes of these items.
After receiving a letter of interest in the project in July from a company, we started to collect school and community items such desks, computers, printer, bedding linen etc. All of these items are now stored in different places including the use of our minister home garage and in particular we asked someone who owns a factory to store the bulk of the stuff for us.
The factory owner asked me what guarantee do we have to remove and ship out the items, We replied that the company have kindly shown interest in our project and therefore we were anticipating a positive outcome by November, It was on this basis that we were going to purchase a lorry/container, load it with the respective stuff and ship it over to Zimbabwe as indicated in our letter to their Chief Executive. I also stated in my letter that we are planning a second trip back to Zimbabwe in the month of December to monitor the distribution of the donated items.
The company came back to us in this eleventh hour and advised that they had received many applications and so they are unable to help our project.
The factory owner also had informed us that the month of December is his busiest period and would like me to remove all stored items from his factory by the end of November 2011. He was due to receive four large containers from China and needs his space to store his goods for his business and so asks that I should remove all the stuff without fail from his factory on the 30thNovember and we have failed to do so by now.
We have now been given another 25th Frebruary 2012 to remove all the items and have nowhere to put them so we have found ourselves in a predicament. As a result of this, the only thing we can do is to request for an emergency funding assistance for this particular regard.
We would appreciate any help, assistance which you might be able to give in this situation.

Dumisani Moyo

Chairman of the group
Why is this project needed at this time in this location?
Zimbabwe is one of the countries that have experienced and recorded one of the highest levels of the HIV infections in the world with 26.8 in the late 1990s to 13.6 in 2010 (NAC quarterly statistics). The national HIV prevalence rate is slowly on a downward trend, although within the country and districts, there is a series of multiple changing and overlapping micro-epidemics, each with its own character (the populations most affected), dynamics (patterns of change overtime) and characteristics (severity of impact). This contributes to important age, gender and geographical differences in HIV prevalence. Against such a background, Insiza district remains with high HIV prevalence rate that is higher than the national one. The acceleration of the epidemic in the Insiza communities has largely been driven by sexual transmission, with 80% to 90% arising from heterosexual transmission. There is still inadequacy of practical knowledge related to prevention practices. There are knowledge gaps in intervention areas that include Testing and Counselling (T&C), Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT), Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) or Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) and their availability. The rural areas are the most affected as they are underserved. Females appear to be consistently lagging behind males in most areas of HIV and AIDS-related knowledge. The greatest challenge facing the communities is that HIV risk perception is to a large extent not personalised by all sexual active individuals to reflect on their own risk of being infected and passing on infection to a loved one. In Insiza district, there is a high risk of contracting HIV by adolescents and young men and women aged 15-24 in and out of school in comparison to other age groups due to a number of inextricable intertwined reasons. They include: Ignorance and/or Inadequate relevant information and knowledge about HIV/AIDS; Prevalence of ignorance, myths & misconceptions about HIV/AIDS related to some cultural, traditional & religious attitudes, norms, beliefs and practices; Insecure Livelihoods; Experimenting with sex, boredom and peer pressure; Lack of Parental guidance; Existence of Inequalities between young men & women, boys and girls, unequal power relations, access to and control over resources and decision making. All these challenges demonstrate a strong and urgent need for an adolescent and youth HIV prevention and mitigation initiative.
The proposed project is the HIV prevention and/or stigma reduction intervention in Insiza communities through sport targeting young men and women in and out of school. It is needed at this time in Insiza district because the quarterly Insiza District NAC HIV prevalence rates show that the adolescents and youth are among the groups that still exhibit high prevalence rates despite the downward trend of the national prevalence rate which is now approximated at 13.6. The documentation reviews also indicate that high new infections are occurring in the youth aged 15-24. Therefore an HIV free generation will be very difficult to achieve in this district if there are no concerted efforts to facilitate the adolescents and youth to prevent new infections and the spread of HIV.
How and why have the beneficiaries been selected?
The adolescent and youth in Insiza District’s 8 communities of Nstoma, Shamba, Mwele, Nkankezi, Papama, Scooter, Gwatemba and Malole have been specifically targeted and selected by the Nstoma Community Based Organisation in consultation with Insiza District stakeholders because of the high risk of contracting HIV of adolescents and youth as evidenced by the high HIV infection rates prevalent amongst young men and women aged 15-24 in and out of school (NAC quarterly statistics). Insiza district is one of the districts in Zimbabwe with high HIV prevalence rate and the worst affected age groups are 15-19 years, 20-24 years and 30-49 years. Young people in particular orphans and other vulnerable children (OVC) and out-of school adolescents engage in early sexual activity and require attention of prevention programmes. Sexual relations between younger women and men who are five or more years older are the major entry point for HIV into the younger generation. Multiple sexual relationships due to lack of faithfulness are a key driver of the HIV epidemic in the communities. The risk factors for HIV infection include a higher overall number of sexual partners, high turnover of sexual partners and concurrent sexual partners or having a partner who has concurrent sexual partners. The young men and women are exposed to such risks. Correct and consistent use of male and female condoms by adolescent and youth still remains a challenge. There are a lot of constraints that include high cost, stigma and myths to availability, accessibility and usage of female condom faced by young women. There are also some cultural, traditional and religious practices and attitudes that increase vulnerability of adolescents and young men and women to HIV infection. Females are at more risk of exposure to HIV infection due to gender inequalities and unequal power relations. The practices include among others, polygamy, widow inheritance, girl pledging and forced marriage and intra-vaginal practices. HIV and AIDS IEC materials (manuals, workbooks, toolkits) and communication tools in local languages specifically targeting the adolescents and young adults in rural communities is very poor, so is the distribution and there is also fragmentation of such activities. There is limited access to IEC materials as well as lack of adequate training for adolescent and young men and women users. Furthermore, there is limited integration of testing and counselling services into sexual and reproductive health and rights programmes to offer young people opportunities of accessing new channels for accessing family planning programmes without having to be stigmatised and discriminated.
The project will address the MDGs 3, 6 and 8.
MDG 3 recognises that achieving equality between young men and women, adolescent boys and girls is crucial in the fight of HIV and AIDS in individuals, families and communities. MDG3 is a means of preventing the new HIV infections and mitigating the effects and striving for an HIV free generation through promoting gender equality and empowerment of young girls and women via sporting activities such as football and athletics where all people are able to fully participate in
their communities. This includes ensuring that both young women and men hold positions as leaders in their sporting clubs, families and communities; that they equally participate in all levels of the sporting activities. The Dumi project in partnership with Nstoma CBO and Schools Development Associations will support 700 young men and women in and out of school participating in sporting activities of football, netball, volleyball and athletics. The project nurtures the transition of young girls and boys, men and women from education into productive employment via teaching of life skills. This initiative assists girls to complete their education, build life skills that respond to their needs and constraints. The project plan includes education and skill building (e.g. life skills, leadership skills, negotiation skills, financial literacy, livelihood training, gender training).
employers to hire, retain and train young women. The Adolescent and Youth HIV prevention Initiative using sporting activities, is a global public-private partnership initiative launched by The Dumi Project, Nstoma CBO and Insiza District Rural Schools Development Association to promote the social economic empowerment of adolescent girls.
MDG 6 aims to reduce the spread of HIV and AIDS, malaria and other major diseases. This is to be achieved through increasing young people’s knowledge of HIV and AIDS; and improving access to appropriate drugs and other means to prevent and treat diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. Strategies to prevent HIV infection shall address the vulnerabilities of both men and women. Some ideas about masculinity, particularly those related to power and violence against women, have a significant impact on women’s rights and increase HIV vulnerability for women and girls. Sustainable programs to change boys and men’s behaviour will be an integral part in reducing the spread of HIV. Some perceptions of gender roles and stereotypes also affect men and boys, and have negative impacts on their health. These too will be addressed. Care and support strategies in the project recognise that women and girls often carry the greater burden of care where they or a family member is HIV. Prevention strategies shall ensure that the most marginalised and vulnerable young women have their rights respected and have access to services. The project is supporting the integration of gender issues, including measures to respond to violence against women and girls, as part of its work with non-governmental organisations on HIV and AIDS. In Insiza communities the project is working to sensitise and use men as facilitators and change agents for attitude and behaviour change in the prevention of HIV infections. MDG 8 recognises the need for a global partnership in order to achieve development and eradicate poverty propelled by HIV and AIDS in families and communities.
3.3
What specific change is this initiative intended to achieve? What is the anticipated impact of the project on the lives of the beneficiaries? Approximately how many people will benefit directly?
The project is expected to achieve the following changes:
1.The Insiza district families and communities, 700 adolescent girls and boys, young women and men, teachers and community leadership will be conscious about the exposure to HIV new infections of young people and fully aware of the implications to having an HIV free generation
2.There will be increased uptake of HIV prevention services by young people compared to project baseline figures
3.There will also be increased capacities of adolescent girls and boys , young women and men with life skills to tackle the HIV and AIDS epidemic from an informed and equipped point of view
4.The anticipated impact of the project is changes in attitudes and behaviours and sexual relationships of adolescent girls and boys, young men and women and all this contributing to reduced new HIV infections in young people of Insiza communities.
Approximately 700 adolescent girls and boys, young men and women from 8 Insiza communities will benefit directly from the intervention.
3.4
What is the methodology and approach to be used by the project to achieve the changes described? Describe briefly the main activities.
The project will employ a rich integrated methodological approach consisting of use popular sports like football, netball, volleyball and athletics to vigorously campaign against new HIV infections especially in adolescent girls and boys, young men and women and promote through youth development a vision of an HIV free generation in underserved communities like Insiza.

How does this approach differ from work being done by others? What is the potential for future replication or larger-scale implementation? How will lessons be learned from the results of this initiative? (Maximum 1 page for question 3.6)
The approach is considered to be innovative as it is a new approach in the target 8 Insiza communities of tackling the HIV epidemic especially in adolescent girls and boys, young men and women. The project fights HIV from a multifaceted perspectives but harnessing tested models and good practices of mainstreaming gender equality and HIV/AIDS. The project recognises the need for a global partnership in order to achieve development and eradicate poverty propelled by HIV and AIDS in families and communities. Gender equality and the empowerment of women are an essential part of this. A global partnership for development needs to involve men and women as partners and decision-makers, and to ensure that men and women benefit from the work of this partnership. The project will help advance the work on improving reproductive health, safe motherhood, reducing HIV, eliminating gender-based violence and promoting gender equality in the marginalised communities. It will also assist in integrating sexual and reproductive health programs into emergency responses, so that when disasters strike there is still access to family planning services, assisted delivery and emergency obstetric care. The major risk is stigma ad discrimination associated with adolescents and youth utilising HIV prevention services and also partaking in sexual reproductive health and rights.
