More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

There are 1.42m people living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya. The project focuses on six HIV+ support groups in the Coastal region of Kenya where the prevalence of HIV/AIDS is third highest in the country (8.1%) and where significant gaps exist in the support HIV+ people need. The project will address the challenges brought by living with HIV/AIDS, the consequences this has on people’s status and acceptance in society, and their own confidence and their ability to live a quality life.

Activities

This project will train 12 HIV+ facilitators to take the 90 participants through seven 2-hour sessions, deepening their understanding of their situation, identifying challenges and practical ways to address them, and linking them to local support

Latest Update from the Field

Still fundraising

By Jonathan Dudding - Director, International Programmes, ICA:UK, June 18, 2010 11:45 AM

It is now 10 weeks since we began fundraising on Globalgiving, and we have managed to raise over £1,100 from 39 wonderful people! Exciting though this is, we still need more funding before we can get moving with the project and we need to identify 11 more donors by the end of July in order to be able to stay on the Globalgiving website.

We have recently contacted supporters with an appeal to talk to their families, friends and colleagues about this project and we are planning to circulate project details to institutional donors as well to build on the individual support already received. Any offers to help us with that are more than welcome!
