Edgar Jamba Martins Songanga

Edgar Songanga is master trainer and HIV service provider for Angolan prisons. Edgar is committed to fighting HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases. He is responsible for providing quality health services in prisons. Edgar Jamba Martins Songanga believes that to meet global goals and targets to end AIDS, every human being must receive services to protect themselves. As such, he presents information to vulnerable populations around Angola. Upon completion of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, Edgar will apply his acquired knowledge to make a positive change in his community. He will do so by ending not only AIDS but also unemployment, which he believes is a major driver behind overcrowded prisons.
