Embo Summary Report of HIV/AIDS Initiatives
HIVAN
|
The Embo region is situated South-East of Durban in Umbumbulu Magisterial District and covers the area from Umbumbulu, near the Durban South Coast, inland towards Pietermaritzburg. It is made up of five traditional authorities: Embo, Embo-Kwakhabazela, Embo-IsiMahla, Embo-Thimuni and Embo-Vumakwenza. Embo is one of the communities in which the Centre for HIV/AIDS Networking (HIVAN) has conducted HIV/AIDS activity audit.
There are a number of HIV/AIDS-related activities currently running in Embo. Most of these activities are organised, co-ordinated and implemented by the Embo Masakhane Community Development Organisation (EMCDO). These include primary health care activities provided by community health clinics such as Embo Community Health Clinic; youth activities such as stage dramas and traditional songs; income generation projects such as vegetable gardens and poultry, etc.
For these activities to become wellknown both within the community and beyond, HIVAN has placed particular emphasis on identifying, profiling and foregrounding the activities of grassroots-level HIV/AIDS-related initiatives.
HIVAN's Community Liaison Team (CLT) played a key role in identifying these community-based initiatives and compiled a report containing details of the audit conducted in the Embo region in KwaZulu-Natal.
