Strength. Dignity.
Purpose.
SOWCHAN is Nigeria's national network of support groups for women and children living with HIV/AIDS — fighting stigma, empowering communities, and restoring hope.
We are more than our diagnosis.
We show ourselves as women of strength, dignity, and purpose — not as victims who live in fear and isolation. SOWCHAN is a National Network Organization comprising support groups of women and children living with HIV/AIDS across every state in Nigeria.
