Our History
PositivelySharing is an offshoot of Sharing Love Ministries a non-profit, faith-based organization created in Kigali (post-conflict Rwanda) in 1998.
In Kigali, we partnered with local NGOs and religious bodies to assist vulnerable groups, particularly genocide widows, single mothers and their children as well as female child-headed families.
In Tanzania, we worked in partnership with Mount Meru Regional Hospital, Arusha for well over one decade to provide nutritional support and distributed non-food items once a month to the Tuamuke Group (an association of People Living with HIV and AIDS which (PLWH) it created.
Today, we operate in Lagos, Nigeria.
