Winnie Nabukeera: "COVID-19 didn't stop us from educating the youth about SRHR"

Winnie Nabukeera opened The Little Winnie Foundation when she was just 23-years-old. The young nurse has always been passionate about educating teens about HIV and sexual health. And not even a global pandemic could stop her.

Overview

The People’s Vaccine Alliance (PVA) Africa is part of a global movement of organisations and networks supported by Nobel Laureates, Heads of State, health experts, economists, world leaders, faith leaders and activists working together to ensure Africans everywhere have equitable access to vaccines.

Our strategy

Housed in the African Alliance, PVA Africa’s role is to ensure that the voices, priorities and work of African activists and communities, in all of our diversity, are meaningfully reflected in global healthcare. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have continued to ensure that interventions, strategies, and approaches to the access of COVID-19 vaccines for Africans continue to be addressed on our African terms. We do this by ensuring that the work of indigenous organisations in all five regions of the continent is amplified, and supported and shapes our collective advocacy for a truly decolonised response, for this pandemic and the next.

Our primary focus areas are health systems strengthening, ensuring equity in access to COVID-19 tools for communities in the global South, strengthening engagement with relevant stakeholders and accelerating an approach for a decolonised approach response.

JOIN PVA Africa

During the 11^th South Africa AIDS Conference, the PVA Africa team set up a digital billboard in Umlazi, Durban, to commemorate the three-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was done in solidarity with the AIDS Conference and in vigilance with pandemic preparedness and people who had lost their loved ones to the pandemic. #NeverAgain
