A woman in Malawi speaking about testing positive for HIV

AIDS Support Group

In this short article InsightShare Associate Dominic Elliot describes his work with an Aids support group in Malawi.

In 2005, InsightShare used Participatory Video as a tool for working with an HIV-positive community group in M’deka, Malawi. The 3-day project was carried out in partnership with the Malawi branch of GOAL, an Irish non-governmental organisation (NGO) that has been setting up these groups as a way of helping HIV-positive people support one another and change attitudes in the community with regard to knowing/communicating one’s status.
