South Sudan HIV/AIDS Impact Reduction

Sudan

Two Counselors from Save the Children

South Sudan HIV/AIDS Impact Reduction Program (SSHIP): Save the Children US, in partnership with three local NGOS, works to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS on individuals and communities in Southern Sudan. Through the development of volunteer counselling and testing, the training of condom distributors, and the provision of peer-led HIV education the SSHIP Program has effectively increased access to and demand for quality HIV care and treatment services. In efforts to promote the sustainability of quality care and support services, Save the Children US is strengthening the capacity of Country Health Department, health facilitates and community partners.
