I thank NACC for establishing various HIV and AIDS support groups including Chingwenya support group which I am chairing. NACC provides mentorship and coaching, drug adherence, nutrition practices which has helped me live healthy and fight stigma.

NACC provided mentorship and coaching on how I could escape bad cultural practices which made me stay in school until I was selected to Mzuzu University.

Education Program Beneficiary
NACC trained us in fertilizer making using locally available materials, since then I waved good bye to hunger. The fertilizer is easy to make and affordable for an average person like me.

Livelihood Program Beneficiary
I was just a beggar at Namwera Market and with my disability I thought there is nothing else I can do apart from begging until NACC came into my life. NACC took me and trained me in smithing. They later employed me to train others.
