HWWK Orphans and Vulnerable Children Program Officer George Khisa made a poster presentation on “Sustaining OVC Support Structures in Urban Slums.”
Former HWWK consultant Kristina Grabbe delivered an oral presentation about HIV prevalence in rural areas based partly on the work of HWWK’s program outlet in Makindu town.
