Give people like Joan* the opportunity to help other raped and AIDS afflicted women and children
***********
Help former child sol­diers/rebels discover techiques to help them chan­nel their rage and shame into positive energy and action.  

 



Joan* developed AIDS following a gang rape when she was overtaken by a military group in the jungle during the civil war in the Congo. With the help of local counselors, she is now a volunteer convincing other Africans that AIDS is not a hex from the witchdoctor for bad behavior. She is also active in helping others accept and prevent the disease by educating communities about HIV, and thus reducing the stigma associated with it.





Help Joan* and others continue their work in the prevention and treatment of AIDS with your donation to IFPSW today

********************************************


After surviving a particu­larly severe torture session, a young rebel-boy named Jack* came to a hospital in Africa for treatment. He had been so badly injured, it was a wonder he was even alive.

However, a few days after discussing the horrific episode in question with a counselor, he divulged that this was the first time he had not had nightmares about a violent ordeal he had endured. In fact, he told us he had reached a sense of calm in his recuperation process, and was very surprised about it. His experience is an example of the work counselors in the Congo perform to de­velop empathy and compassion among those who have been traumatized.

 

You can help counselors help current or former child soldiers like Jack* recuperate from their trauma by contributing to the IFPSW today.

HOW YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER!
  • IThe IFPSW trains volunteers and counselors to help traumatized victims channel negative emotions into positive behaviors. This gives them an opportunity to reform abusive par­ents into family role models.
  • The IFPSW also helps train people to lower the proliferation of HIV/AIDS, reduce the stigma associated with it, and supports counselors helping those who are struggling to adhere to lower cost ARV regimens (AIDS medication and treatment),which can have particularly severe side-effects in the first month of treatment.
