Projects - HIV/AIDS and General Health Education

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.
