Five Ways Tanzania is Fighting HIV

1.4 million: that’s the number of Tanzanians who live with HIV. 2.3 million: that’s the number of children who have been orphaned due to AIDS. And the biggest challenge of all: Tanzania has only 44% of the health and related staff needed to control the HIV epidemic.

This is where our Community Health and Social Welfare Systems Strengthening Program (CHSSP), in partnership with World Education and funded by the United States Agency for International Development, is helping. From training more than 18,800 community caseworkers to link vulnerable children and their families to HIV testing and treatment to empowering community advocacy groups to link people to HIV testing and treatment, CHSSP is building Tanzania’s capacity to achieve the UNAIDS 90–90–90 goals and realize an HIV-free generation.

In observation of this year’s World AIDS Day, we highlight five ways that Tanzania is fighting HIV. Check out the full story on Medium.
