Building a world where all people can be happy

Grant to Support for International Change

   

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 is ¼ of the funds being used in 2009 to expand SIC’s current effort with its 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.  The program is currently providing care for 600 persons with HIV, and have conducted workshops for over 8,000 people.  (www.sichange.org)
