Support for International Change (SIC) has been working in northern Tanzania since 2002 to limit the impact of HIV/AIDS in rural communities. The $10,000 grant from the AllPeopleBeHappy foundation will be ¼ of the funds needed in 2009 to expand SIC’s current effort with the proposed Community-Based Treatment Access Project. This project consists of 4 community-based services: 1) mobile provision of Voluntary Counseling and Testing, 2) reproductive health education and HIV prevention workshops, 3) establishment of HIV support groups, and 4) mobile provision of antiretroviral drugs in conjunction with government hospitals.
