WA-WA is a swahili abbreviation meaning ‘Wanawake Wavuvi’ which in English means fisher women. WA-WA’s main focus is to reduce HIV/AIDS among the fisher communities through eliminating ‘sex for fish’ which contributes heavily to HIV/AIDS infections. Therefore, our aim is to turn tables around lake Victoria where the major jobs are dominated by men.
