(Fixed term contract till 30 September 2022)
WHO IS HIVSA?
HIVSA was founded in 2002, in the pre-treatment era. Over the years we have learnt that connecting and including marginalized communities in all processes remains the only credible approach to truly build and empower communities as it affords them opportunities to be part of the development and growth chain. We are ambitious and resolute to demonstrate that communities are truly able to own and drive their development agenda. As such, HIVSA empowers and mentors Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to implement various initiatives. We always strive to bring health solutions to communities by facilitating access to health and social services through innovatively influencing communities’ choices. Our ultimate focus is to empower individuals and communities to be self-sustainable through developing their capacities to solve the socio-economic and health challenges that they face.
