Previous to the conflict, working with our partners we were:

- building the capacity of water users to better manage their own water resources and have a voice regarding water management issues;
- supporting local councils and CSOs to integrate water and environmental planning into their annual plans;
- strengthening the capacity, skills and knowledge of individuals, organisations and communities to make informed choices and to combat the spread of HIV;
- improving the psycho-social and network support for people living with HIV;
- helping people living with HIV empower themselves to advocate for policies and legislation which improve access to HIV testing services, treatment and care;
- increasing knowledge and understanding of HIV and AIDS prevention, care and support among male and female faith leaders, and ther ability to preach accurate messages about HIV.
