WHAT WE DO
Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT)
In collaboration with our grassroots partners and the Rwandan government, WE-ACTx has provided Voluntary Counseling and Testing services (VCT) since October 2005, testing over thousands of people.
Integrated Mental Health Services
Our health care model is unique in Rwanda for its extensive integration of mental health care into primary health and HIV medical care. Trained staff including trauma counselors, a psychiatric nurse, a psychologist, and peer advocates delivers WE-ACTx’s psychosocial services. We offer home visits and individual counseling for patients of all ages, as well as group counseling for teens, young mothers, survivors of domestic violence, and men living with HIV.
Nutrition support
WE-ACTx For Hope is proving supplement nutrition to more than 600 children monthly. It is a local porridge made by Sorghum, Soya and Maize. It is very rich in nutriments. This supplement helps the very poor children to be able to take their daily antiretroviral treatment.
Youth Support Groups
WE-ACTx supports young patients living with HIV through weekly programs that promote emotional, physical, and social well-being. Sunday Support offers peer-led groups, yoga, and games, providing safe spaces for teens to discuss challenges, while younger kids enjoy creative activities. The Summer Youth Program combines arts, sports, and performance to build self-expression and friendships. Youth Clinic Day ensures youth-only care with self-care seminars and library access, and Saturday Support at Nyacyonga Health Center features traditional dance, music, and group discussions. These programs empower youth to connect, heal, and thrive.
