Fact at Aglance

CHEC has been implementing the Home-Based Care project in cooperation with community health center staff, community personnel and PLHIV in the target project areas in five Operational Districts of Sa Ang and Ta Khmao in Kandal, Kampong Tralach in Kampong Chhnang, Srey Santhor in Kampong Cham and Preah Sdach in Prey Veng. With support from the World Food Program starting from October 2006, each PLHIV and OVC household registered within the CHEC Home-Based Care (HBC) program received nutritional support such as rice, vegetable oil and salt. In addition, the PLHIV and OVC carers were supported in referrals to treatment services and to VCCT for HIV and TB testing. Through the HBC project, PLHIV and their carers were empowered in the community, so that they were not looked down on as a result of stigma and discrimination associated with this disease. Thirty two Self Help Groups of PLHIV have so far been set up, and they have regular monthly meetings at the health centre in each Operational District.
