More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Given Venezuela's poverty, unemployment and the lack of both data in terms of the epidemic and prevention campaigns, the business sector can become a vital means to bring education to families and communities through the work force. In turn, education in the work place can contribute to prevent discrimination and stigma and to promote practices of support for employees and members of their families who live with HIV.

Activities

Identify and select 10 participating companies, present the program & create the in-company supervising committee, select leaders within the work force, design & communicate the policy, train the leaders & bring HIV/AIDS education to the work force.

Potential Long Term Impact

Our main goal is to prevent HIV incidence within the workplace and to promote practices of support and non-discrimination, based on the implementation of corporate HIV/AIDS policies.

Project Message

Business is one of the most important sectors in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Through work force, prevention and non-discrimination, messages can reach families, communities and society at large.
