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

Ensuring HIV+ voices are heard

By Jonathan Dudding - Director, International Programmes, ICA:UK, November 21, 2011 08:56 PM

The participants in the strategic planning process

Although the initiative of working with HIV+ people in and around Mariakani started as a programme, SCR (our implementing partner) have now gone a step further by including some of the participants in their recent strategic planning process when the dirsction of the organisation was charted for the next 3-5 years. In this way, the HIV+ voices were heard and listened to in the process, and their views reflected in the final plan for the organisation. This small effort ensures that the organisation remiands close to its target groups and provides the sort of support and guidance as wanted and needed by the HIV+ groups.
