Health and Wellbeing

For more than a decade, ADRA South Africa has worked to build community resilience to the health and psychosocial impacts of HIV and AIDS.

HIV and AIDS resilience

Working across gender, age, ethnic and faith lines, we have:

Reached more than 60,000 people living with HIV through a trained community counsellor (training-of-trainers) approach
Trained more than 300 pastors and religious leaders in a ministry of inclusive compassion, helping to dismantle stigma in faith communities
Formed more than 120 community and faith-based support groups
Launched more than 20 cooperatives with thriving income-generating activities linked to markets

Our health portfolio also encompasses:

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) — safe water access, sanitation and hygiene promotion, in both emergency and development settings
Nutrition — including school and community feeding and support to malnourished children
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases — prevention, destigmatisation and community support
Psychosocial support for people affected by disaster, displacement and loss
