Strengthening Local Capacity and Building Sustainability

Since early 2003, CHF International has been active in combating HIV/AIDS, the most important public health and developmental challenge of our time. CHF understands the need for a multisectoral response to HIV/AIDS, and so we are bringing our 54-year history of fostering community partnerships, promoting economic empowerment, and enhancing key infrastructure to bear as we work to address the entire continuum of prevention, treatment and care.

CHF’s programs work to address the root causes that make people vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, including poverty, malnutrition, opportunistic infections, and inadequate shelter. A critical element of our approach is focused on fostering local ability and building sustainability, by strengthening the indigenous grassroots capacity of community-based and faith-based organizations to effectively combat the epidemic on their own.
