Women in Zambia's North-Western province are being helped with the knowledge and services to prevent HIV/AIDS through a project aimed at empowering the hardest hit population group. Last month, the NGO Coordination Committee (NGOCC) - an umbrella body of women's organisations in the region - and the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), gathered in Solwezi to open 'Bumi House'. This centre will become the base for the programme.
