Challenge

Murewa district, Zimbabwe has a 23% HIV prevalence rate, and mostly for children and women. This is in a rural resource poor community and most children have problems with access to treatment. Due to levels of illiteracy and the complex nature of HIV treatment, most children need support with information to ensure access and adherence to Anti-Retroviral Therapy. Care-givers and teachers are trained to assist the children to have life saving medicine and remain active community members

Solution

The project provides training opportunity on access to and compliance with ART therapy for children living with HIV. Training will also be provided to care-givers and teachers. Regular medical check up is an important component. Its subsidies school fees for children living with HIV thus enabling the care-givers to provide for food, medicine and other basic needs for the children. The project therefore empowers both the children and the care-givers with practical services and support

Long-Term Impact

The children will have quality and healthy life in a supportive community and school environment. The information from the project will also contribute to review of pediatric HIV programmes including treatment policies in Zimbabwe and globally. Many of the children on ART treatment are effectively participating in school, increasing their educational and career opportunities in life
