  • Promote voluntary counseling and testing.

Scheduled Care:

  • Provide home-based care that is accessible, equitable and efficient.
  • Enable and empower health professionals to care and cope with PLWHA’s in their community.
  • Visit patients and families to teach them proper care and treatment for opportunistic infections.

Orphan Support:

  • Provide comprehensive orphan support.
  • Skill training for orphans/older siblings.

Community Capacity Building:
