Connie Duckworth—Founder, Arzu
Afghanistan women face a cycle of poverty that is difficult to break. Less than 22 percent of women living in Afghanistan can read and write, and the nation has the second highest maternal mortality rate in the world. The Chicago-based organization Arzu Rugs offers Afghani women a sustainable income and basic education through their rug program. Arzu sources and sells rugs woven by Afghan women and in return asks that women attend literacy classes and enroll their children in school. |

Global Activism—Peer-to-Peer Health Education
Kathleen Norr—Professor, Maternal Child Nursing at College of Nursing, University of Illinois at Chicago; Co-Project Director, Mzake ndi Mzake
Chrissie Kaponda—Co-Project Director, Mzake ndi Mzake; Head of Nursing Research Center, University of Malawi
Dr. Norr is the Malawi program coordinator for UIC AIDS International Training and Research Program, a collaboration between universities in Malawi to educate public health workers and build research and training infrastructure. Dr. Chrissie Kaponda is a 1996 graduate of the UIC college of nursing and the Department Head of Maternal Child Nursing at the Kamuzu College of Nursing. She’s the Malawi Country Coordinator of Mzake ind Mzake–which means “Friend to Friend.”
Mzake ndi Mzake Peer Group Intervention for HIV Prevention combines health care with research into gender inequality and social learning.
Using the next-door district as a control, the group acts like an educational “chain letter.” First, it educates health care workers at a large, state-run hospital. Then, those workers use the same curriculum of human sexuality, IV transmission and condom use to teach workers at five rural clinics and leaders in nearby villages. In the next phase, nearly 2,000 adults in the community were trained. |
