The Coalition of Women living with HIV/AIDS in Malawi (COWLHA) is a grassroots organization based in Lilongwe and active in every district of Malawi. Working with a wide range of partners, COWLHA’s members bring the issues of women living with HIV to the national stage, while providing them with support. Over 50,000 members-strong after two years of operation, COWLHA provides a space for women to meet with leaders, receive microfinance support, and advocate for their needs. COWLHA holds anti stigma and discrimination workshops, campaigns on violence against women, and provides support to children orphaned by AIDS. The coalition’s activities have encouraged thousands of women to be open about their status and to seek HIV testing and counseling, antiretroviral treatment, mother to child transmission prevention, and nutritional support.
