CHESO was started in 2006 by a group of poor women who were concerned and committed to prevent the high number of school girl drop-outs due to neglect, sexual abuse, exploitation and mental violence suffered by girls. CHESO hosts the Temeke & Kisarawe Network of Girls living with HIV. This is a network of girls and young women living with HIV/AIDS and accessing treatment. With this grant, they will organise a retreat for young women and girls living with HIV/AIDS in Temeke and Kisarawe districts of Uganda to provide them with some knowledge and skills needed to effectively take care of their mental health and emotional wellbeing.
