16 years of the Omoana House project, Esprit Solidaire - Léman Bleu (FR)

“Omoana House has been supporting young people living with HIV in Uganda for 16 years. Some of the beneficiaries, who are now adults, want to encourage the young people they support and tell their stories, to highlight the help provided by the association. They have created videos to tell their stories and convey a message of hope: a normal life is possible with HIV”.

Speaking to Lucie Hainaut, Chloé Collier, our coordinator, looks back over the 16 years of activity of the Omoana House project, followed by a short report and an interview with Mukungu Enock, a former beneficiary of the project.

On Friday 10 November 2023, at the Palladium in Geneva, we were supposed to present RESILIENCE, an artistic testimonial by young Ugandans born with HIV, recounting their life journey.

After 6 months of preparation and 1 week before their arrival in Switzerland, their visas were all refused, forcing us to cancel the show.
