Summary
The Hope for African Children Initiative (HACI) is an innovative response that addresses the entire child-focused prevention-care-mitigation continuum with mutually reinforcing program strategies.Program goals
To strengthen the capacity of African communities to advocate, care for and support children impacted by HIV/AIDS and prevent further spread of HIV; improve orphans and other vulnerable children's welfare by increasing access to education, adequate food, psychosocial support, basic health services, and legal rights, and to catalyze a global partnership to expand the resources available to achieve these goals.
Key program components
HACI program activities in its countries of operation include:
Creating awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS
Extending the parent-child relationship (e.g. encouraging early treatment of opportunistic infections)
Psychological support through encouraging positive living and preparing families for the transitions involved when dealing with HIV/AIDS (e.g. providing counseling and economic support)
Ensuring the future of vulnerable children by providing access to basic education, life skills and health
Providing children nutritional support and educational support such as school dues and supplies, adolescent reproductive health and advocacy
HACI also aggressively works on capacity building of local NGOs and community-based organizations through training, financial, and technical assistance/support that boosts their service delivery; by equipping them with local resource mobilization skills and expanding their reach; and through addressing their issues regarding sustainability.
