Advocacy & human rightsUtetezi na haki za binadamu
We take what members experience in clinics, workplaces and
communities and turn it into evidence that policy makers
cannot ignore - in national HIV strategy, in law reform and
in budget hearings.
Tunachukua yale wanachama wanayokutana nayo kliniki, kazini
na katika jamii na kuyageuza ushahidi ambao watunga sera
hawawezi kuupuuza - katika mkakati wa kitaifa wa VVU, mageuzi
ya sheria na vikao vya bajeti.

Treatment literacy & adherenceElimu ya matibabu na kufuata dawa
Starting treatment is not the hard part - staying on it for
life is. Trained peer educators walk members through ART,
viral load testing and what an undetectable result means.
Kuanza matibabu si sehemu ngumu - kuendelea nayo maisha yote
ndiyo changamoto. Waelimishaji rika waliopewa mafunzo
huwaelekeza wanachama kuhusu ARV, kipimo cha wingi wa virusi
na maana ya kutokuonekana kwa virusi.
- Peer educators attached to health facilitiesWaelimishaji rika kwenye vituo vya afya
- Tracing and welcoming back members who stopped treatmentKuwafuatilia na kuwakaribisha waliokatisha matibabu
- Community feedback on the quality of careMaoni ya jamii kuhusu ubora wa huduma
Stigma & discriminationUnyanyapaa na ubaguzi
Stigma keeps people away from testing, from treatment and
from disclosure. We measure it, name it and work with
communities, employers and the media to reduce it.
Unyanyapaa huwafanya watu waepuke kupima, kutibiwa na
kuwaeleza wengine hali zao. Tunaupima, tunauweka wazi na
tunafanya kazi na jamii, waajiri na vyombo vya habari
kuupunguza.

Economic empowermentUwezeshaji kiuchumi
Medicine works better on a full stomach. Savings and lending
groups, skills training and small business support help
members build an income that survives illness.
Dawa hufanya kazi vizuri tumbo likiwa na chakula. Vikundi vya
akiba na mikopo, mafunzo ya ujuzi na msaada wa biashara ndogo
huwasaidia wanachama kujenga kipato kinachostahimili ugonjwa.

Young people living with HIV face disclosure, school, dating
and treatment fatigue all at once. Youth-led groups give them
somewhere to take those questions.
Vijana wanaoishi na VVU hukabiliana kwa wakati mmoja na
kuwaeleza wengine, shule, mahusiano na uchovu wa dawa. Vikundi
vinavyoongozwa na vijana huwapa mahali pa kupeleka maswali
hayo.

Community systems strengtheningKuimarisha mifumo ya jamii
A network is only as strong as its weakest district. We train
and equip regional and district networks so they can plan,
report and hold services to account on their own.
Mtandao ni imara kadri ya wilaya yake dhaifu zaidi.
Tunaimarisha mitandao ya mikoa na wilaya ili iweze kupanga,
kutoa taarifa na kuwajibisha watoa huduma yenyewe.
