The African MSM Sexual Health Project (also known as the Monya Project ) is an NPL and Newham PCT initiative. This project is an exciting opportunity for service delivery for African men who have sex with men in Newham.

Monya in Swahili means strength. African MSM living in London are faced with a number of problems, often including HIV, immigration, education and employment, isolation, fear and hate crime. The project aims to enable African MSM to face up to these challenges which HIV, sexual health and homophobia can present. Facing these issues requires not just the strength of African MSM, but also of their friends, family and loved ones to bring an end to the stigmatisation.

Services provided:
