HDT extends support to its beneficiaries under a new project: “Improving Livelihood and Community Support for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) and Most Vulnerable Children (MVC)”.
HDT will embark on a new project this year, May 2010, with funding from the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF-UK), an international donor which supports innovative HIV prevention programs, efforts to eliminate HIV &AIDS stigma and discrimination and direct care and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS (http://www.ejaf.org/).
This new partnership is vital to enable HDT to expand its services to its beneficiaries. The expected results of this 2 year project (with above title) are:
Outcome 1: Improved quality of life of PLHIV (improved health, improved self esteem and improved livelihood).
Outcome 2: Improved access to basic needs for MVC (through their caring families) and educational bursaries.
Outcome 3: Improved documentation of evidence for sustainability to influence policy and practice related to PLHIV and MVC.
Long term Impact: Improved health and livelihood of PLHIV and MVC (through caring families).
The project will be implemented in 5 districts in the regions of Kagera, Mbeya and Dar es Salaam. The direct beneficiaries will include: 250 PLHIV; 1,500 MVC, through support to 500 caring families; 60 Community Home-Based Care (CHBC) providers; 30 PLHIV support groups. Indirect beneficiaries will include numerous additional PLHIV and other community members and stakeholders.
