Positive Women is a UK based charity that works to empower women and children in Swaziland who are infected or affected by HIV/Aids. We work to support them to create a better future for themselves and their communities.

Story

Tools for Life is an innovative women-led programme, linking together women across generations, cultures and communities. It aims to provide opportunities for women and who are, for a multitude of reasons, working at a disadvantage, both in the UK and Swaziland and enable them to gain valuable skills and experiences that will enable them to provide more for their families, communities and themselves. Having piloted Tools for Life in 2013, documenting the whole process on film. The pilot project exceeded expectations and has not only provided an incredible platform for the Swazi carpenters to create a viable business and the UK women to gain skills, experience and confidence, but it has challenged the beliefs of the local community we worked with in Swaziland, as to what women can do.  We plan to build on the success of the project and want you to join us in changing lives.
