Why we existVision and mission
What Komeza Peer Circle stands for, and how it began in Kanombe.
Our vision
A community where every young woman, whatever her HIV status, lives openly, healthily and with dignity, as a full part of community life.
Our mission
To create a safe, confidential space where young women can talk honestly about HIV, health and well-being, support one another, and return to community life free of stigma.
How it started
In our community, some young girls living with HIV were isolating themselves and missing community activities because of fear and stigma. Nobody was talking about it.
UMULINGA G Jolly started a peer wellness group so they would have a place to talk, be heard and support each other. In September 2025, with the support of the Kanombe Sector office, which provided a meeting room, the group began meeting every week. By March 2026, 15 young women had taken part.
