Through collaboration with the Uganda National Health Consumers/Users
Organization (UNHCO), KACCAD has brought experts in the field of
HIV/AIDS to train people in HIV/AIDS counselling. These counsellors
have been used to encourage and educate about positive living with
HIV/AIDS.
| KACCAD has recently expanded the health program to include
HIV/AIDS sensitization and voluntary counselling and testing.
This program is supported by Uganda's AIDS Information Centre
which provides HIV counselling and testing services at no charge
to community members mobilized by KACCAD. The sensitization
portion of the program is being lead my KACCAD's Peace Corps
Volunteer who is an HIV/AIDS specialist. The program presently
serves at risk community members, in and out of school youth,
women's groups and youth groups. These pictures are taken at
a recent AIDS Information Centre whilst tests were conducted. |

This program is well supported when it comes to expertise in HIV/AIDS
and general health but it is in need of educational materials. Materials
needed include: condoms, HIV/AIDS and general health handouts
and resource books, and teaching supplies such as flip chart paper
and pens.
There is also a need to construct latrines for needy families and
communities and spring wells. Many boreholes that have been out
of service for more than two years need to be repaired. Donations
of any of these materials or funds to purchase materials or for
well and latrine construction would help in KACCAD's expansion of
this program.
