Cash injection for rural HIV/AIDS

    JOHANNESBURG

    The Zambia National AIDS Network (ZNAN) has provided a cash injection to support organisations implementing HIV/AIDS programmes in rural areas.

    Sam Kapembwa, ZNAN's communications officer, said the network had set aside close to US $480,000 to help the various NGOs and community-based organisations (CBOs) scale up their HIV/AIDS interventions.

    He told a local newspaper, The Times of Zambia, that qualifying organisations were those currently providing home-based care, and working with orphans and vulnerable children, and high-risk groups.

    Support groups for people living with HIV/AIDS and private-sector organisations with AIDS intervention programmes are also among the groups eligible for funding.
