Page 23: Community Conversations Highlights NMF Community Conversations 2010

LESSONS LEARNT• Communities have little or no faith in the public

health system (all areas)• There is a problem with DRUGS in all communities

(peri-urban and urban)• Access to ARVs generally a problem• Link between substance abuse and rape and other

violent crimes• Except in Rural areas where rape is as a result of

persistent myths and culture• Causes of the spread of HIV and other social

injustices are deeply rooted in the fibre of society

Page 24: Community Conversations Highlights NMF Community Conversations 2010

LESSONS LEARNT – cont.

• The wounds of any community can be healed through Community Dialogues (Strength through unity)

• Culture can be challenged to work for communities in the fight against wrong.

• Communities are capable of bringing change• Poverty is never an excuse. Moral rejuvenation is

possible. • Individuals can grow (one individual value changed =

whole community value change)• Partnerships are crucial
