OUR MISSION

Our mission and priority lies in providing the high risk population (Female Sex Workers -FSW, Male Having Sex with Male-MSM and Injecting Drug Users – IDUs) with the information, means and skills they need to minimise HIV transmission and improving their access to care, support and treatment.Our programmes also help to improve Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) of individuals by helping them reduce the harm associated with sex work and injecting drug use. Besides that, we have set up various counselling and testing centres, along with Mobile ICTC vans to reach far flung areas and to spread awareness amid rural population.

In order to accomplish another one of our missions, we work with Red Ribbon Clubs (RRC) which aim to spread awareness among the youth(age group of 15-29 years) aboutHIV, toencourage voluntary blood donations and to provide solidarity, hope and support for those living with HIV.
