Visiting the Brewers
Alcohol abuse is a huge problem in the slums and villages of East Africa. There are rarely support services available for people to get help from alcohol addiction, and men and women often drink themselves to death and to the destruction of their families.

Another huge problem is the combination of sex and alcohol. Many times women will brew beer and provide home made brews and a sex stop for men with money.

Nick Korir and Dr. Oronje visited several brewers the other day to counsel them and talk about their decisions. They were encouraging them to look at the frightening outcomes of their work. Many times they will be too drunk to insist on a condom, and can wake up robbed of their possessions or raped. Many times women get HIV from this scenario.

They also asked the women to go get tested for AIDS.
