What we do

How we help

We are a community-based charity. Our services include:

HIV testing for children and adolescents.
Tracing those who don’t follow up with testing and keeping them in care; we do this especially for infants exposed to HIV, and children and adolescents living with HIV.
Direct care and support for vulnerable children and adolescents especially those living with or affected by HIV.
Providing a platform for children and adolescents to be involved in preventing HIV, and reducing their risk and vulnerability to HIV.
Advocating for detecting more cases and for children and adolescents to access to quality HIV care
Comprehensive sex education for adolescents.

Adolescent girls, boys and young people
Children infected by and affected by HIV
Infants and children who are vulnerable to HIV and/or to SGBV (sexual and gender-based violence) and other exploitations
Vulnerable children including exposed infants, survivors of SGBVs and children of female sex workers (FSWs)
