Announcements for funding/aid/grants by various organisations for HIV/AIDS related activities
For home-based care providers
AIDS has changed the fabric of communities around the world and placed a burden on the lives of many people, especially girls and women, young and old. With health systems failing and people living longer with HIV thanks to access to antiretrovirals (ARVs), mainly poor women are increasingly forced to devote their time, energy, skills and the little resources to care for their family members at home and provide their services to the wider community, often at great expense to themselves. This invisible task-shifting is insufficiently recognised, valued and validated as work.
The Catholic Organisation for Relief and Development (Cordaid) and partners of the Caregivers Action Alliance’s (CAA) organising committee (HelpAge International, Huairou Commission, VSO International) as well as the World YWCA, reward and encourage leadership around the strengthening of home based care in responding to HIV and AIDS in the "global South" by awarding €15.000 for an organisation and €5.000 for an individual. Submissions can be sent up to September 15, 2009. Nominations must be e-mailed as Pdf or Microsoft Word (.doc or docx) file attachments to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
