Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC)

Many orphans and other vulnerable children are themselves living with HIV/AIDS, caring for siblings and chronically ill family members, and living in financially stretched households that have absorbed other children affected by HIV. Some orphans engage in high-risk behaviors to support themselves and their families. According to studies in multiple countries, orphans are more likely than non-orphans to suffer from poor nutrition, lack access to basic health care, miss school, and face psychological and emotional difficulties. Children orphaned by AIDS face the added burden of stigma and discrimination surrounding the disease. Orpan Policy

PLWHA

 HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support efforts are only effective if they are designed to address what the beneficiaries of our program efforts want and the needs they prioritize. Understanding how beneficiaries perceive and utilize existing support services is essential. It helps us learn from past experiences, tailor programs to meet perceived needs, and maximize the efficacy of program efforts. There are many associations established as local NGO and they create PLWHAs network in the country based on the aim of WHAT people living with HIV/AIDS WANT to play a more active and central role in the response to AIDS. It also shows us the people living with HIV/AIDS on their needs, the services they use, stigma and discrimination they have experienced, and recommendations for a strengthened response.
