Positive Vibes

Positive Vibes is an innovative HIV and AIDS communication initiative based in Namibia. We believe that those of us living with HIV are best placed to prevent the virus' further spread, which is why we strive to create a space for those living with and affected by HIV - you, me, our loved ones, friends and colleagues - to address the epidemic at an individual, family and community level.

Positive Vibes has been adapting, piloting and implementing innovative, participatory and PLWHA-led approaches to HIV and AIDS communication for five years.

Council of Churches in Namibia (CCN)

In the early 1970's, the Namibian churches entered into a loose alliance, the Christian Centre, which had a dual role: to speak with a united voice against injustice on behalf of the voiceless; and to initiate relief projects for the poor. This initiative was later revamped and its scope broadened and, as a result, the Council of Churches in Namibia (CCN) was formed in 1978. CCN provided further opportunities for the various church denominations to come together to share their experience and make joint statements on matters of common interest.

The CCN is an ecumenical body whose concerns extend from religious to social and educational matters. It was originally made up of the following churches:African Methodist Episcopal Church(AME); Anglican Diocese of Namibia; Evangelical Lutheran Church in SWA/Namibia (ELC); Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (ELCIN); Methodist Church; and Roman Catholic Church (RCC).
