Mission: Our approach: in the rural communities where we work, poor infrastructure and widespread poverty limit access to hiv testing and prevention services, and leave people living with hiv socially and physically isolated from care. Sic trains community health workers, provides mobile testing, works to make existing government services available to rural communities through mobile care and treatment centers, and provides ongoing social support and assistance with income generating projects. We also provide high quality service-learning opportunities for young adults, giving them hands on experience in global health and health care delivery in rural tanzania.
Programs: Philanthropy, voluntarism & grantmaking programs: sic works to limit the impact of hiv/aids in underserved communities by strengthening access to health care in rural areas and effectively train future leaders in global health and development. This is accomplished through providing a comprehensive set of hiv-related services in our target communities including: awareness campaigns, service-learning programs for international volunteers, providing free hiv testing and counseling services, access to healthcare and treatment with mobile clinics, training of community health workers and peer educators, and support groups for people living with hiv.
