A strong emphasis is placed on empowering people with disabilities as well as those suffering from chronic conditions such people living with HIV through their integration into mainstream development activities and the provision of appropriate health and rehabilitation services to ensure equal opportunities for all.
2. Project background
With funding from Academy for Educational Development (AED) Capable Partners Program, Handicap International has been implementing a HIV/AIDS project since 2006. The goal of the project is to improve access to quality and comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention and care services for people infected and affected by HIV & AIDS and to prevent the spread of the disease among the youth and people with disability in Nairobi, Garissa, Trans-Nzoia and West Pokot.
In the Care and support component of the project, HI has worked in partnership with Community Home-Based Care teams and support groups of people living with HIV to enhance access to and utilization of HIV/AIDS services. In collaboration with the ministry of health , Handicap International scale-up the medical care for AIDS clients at the Health facility level through capacity building of health workers and establishment of HAART clinics presently referred to as comprehensive care Centers (CCC).
In Trans Nzoia: A team of 120 active community health workers formed 12 HBC teams who are currently providing actual care at home to affected families and create linkages through referral networks within the district, including MOH through the National Leprosy and TB Programme, Primary Health Care, ART and HBC programmes, Kitale Aids Programme, AMPATH, Health right International., and the Constituency Aids Control Committees.
Handicap International has capacity built the teams through trainings and continuous support supervision in collaboration with the MOH. The trainings so far done and had the participation of members for the HBC teams and support groups include, Treatment Literacy and Drug Adherence, Post Exposure Prophylaxis management and general Infection control strategies, community strategy, Home Based Care Training, Memory book project and Behavior Change Communication.
They have since facilitated the formation of 12 support groups namely; Cherangany, Daima, Simba Apha, Bushere, Sipha, Kitale Vision, Tumaini, Tumechanuka, Shepherd, Muroki Ushirikiano, Healing Support Group and Ingakha Support self help group, some of which have also gained from the above trainings and also provide peer to peer HBC services and adherence counseling in the community.
Through their own initiatives, 5 HBC teams have initiated Income Generating Activities and registered their groups as CBOs and some like Saboti and Sipha have developed proposals and been funded by TOWA through NACC.
In Pokot, Handicap international trained 15 community members on Home Based Care in 2006. They have been providing home based care services to clients since then and this has led to formation of 3 support groups for people living with HIV in the region, one group (Kanamakegh) has gone ahead and registered as a CBO and members have started a poultry project to support their initiatives and the clients they serve.
In Garissa:
Handicap International supports 1 HBC team and 4 groups of people living with HIV in conducting monthly group therapy sessions. The 4 groups have a total enrolment of 169 members (55 males and 114 females).
