In a part of the world where women often live with the physical and emotional trauma of brutal rape for over a year before learning there is help available, hope builds. An international network of professional partners called Yennenga Progress will gather in Sweden this spring to design a train-the-trainer project fro community health workers in South Kivu, DRC. Using state of the art solar-based technology, local clinical expertise and research based counselling techniques,
training tools will be developed to provide assessment, training and
referral skills.

The project is spearheaded by Dr Mukwege, director of Panzi Hospital,
with Congolese psychologist, Henri Namwira, functioning as project
manager and cultural expert. Healing Streams will provide clinical
expertise on recovery from war-trauma and rape. Other members of the
network will provide expertise in solar-powered technology, e-learning,
pedagogy and CBT treatment for trauma.
