Where We Work
PLHA and HIV Prevention Program, Makwanpur
This program is running in six Village Development Committees (VDCs) and one municipality in Makwanpur district: Basamadi, Manahari, Harnamadi, Hatiya and Gadhi alongwith bordering city of Birganj in Parsa district. These were chosen based on the relatively high number of IDUs and PLWHA identified living in these areas and the high level of stigma and discrimination toward PLWHA in their communities. The project will be strategically positioned to involve the whole community of the proposed VDCs, but will specifically target PLWHA, those who are most vulnerable, and affected families for care and support program.
This proposal has also been developed intending to respond to the biggest challenge i.e. to break the stigma pertaining to HIV and AIDS for which our strategy will include the need to change the attitude, increase awareness, enhance access to care and support in dealing with the plight of the infected. A growing problem was the need to help those living with HIV/AIDS as well as the orphans of those who have died from the disease. This will require developing an awareness campaign involving all the stakeholders, including children and adolescents, parents, business and civic leaders. The prevalence rate will likely grow as the population shift continues towards urbanization and because of the present conflict situation; the young and working age group of population (the most vulnerable group) are going to India in search of work, where they are forced to work under the environment of exploitation. And nearby bordering city of Birganj, the contraband drugs are easily smuggled from India.
