  • Summary:
  • This curriculum draws on the experience of Pathfinder staff who put into practice a model of community home-based care (CHBC) in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Uganda. Pathfinder’s CHBC model, piloted by COPHIA in Kenya, emphasizes community mobilization for prevention as well as participation in care and support for those affected by HIV/AIDS. In recent years, Pathfinder has integrated prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), family planning, and other reproductive health initiatives into its CHBC programs in Kenya and Tanzania.

    • Summary:
    • This toolkit was written by AIDS activists from over 50 nongovernmental organizations in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia. They participated in workshops where they explored the implications of stigma and designed the exercises on different aspects of stigma. The Toolkit is a resource collection of participatory educational exercises for use in raising awareness and promoting action to challenge HIV stigma. Trainers can select from the exercises to plan their own courses for different target groups——both AIDS professionals and community groups.
