Adopt Adolescent (AA)!
Adolescents who are not in school, or those who are pregnant, or those who may have given birth, or those living in the streets and in poor families face increased risks and unique vulnerabilities. Those who are heading household often must fend for themselves with no base of family and community support. Adolescents who are living with HIV experience emotional and psychological trauma for being subjected to poverty, fear, sexual and physical abuse. Majority may not rejoin school nor acquire vocational skills to help them earn a living. If there are not supported, they will continue suffer stigma, discrimination and hopelessness. Majority will live in the vicious cycle of poverty.
We are working with the local churches, mosques and faith community centers to help needy and vulnerable adolescents return and, or stay is school. We are supporting them to access health, psychosocial support and vocational skills within their communities.
