EXPANDING OUR SERVICES FOR ADOLESCENTS

Adolescents are often overlooked and many HIV interventions are not tailored to their specific needs. With support from Egmont Trust Funding and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Small Grants, TTF received funds to work within key compounds in Lusaka to develop programs that provide tailored, supportive and safe spaces for adolescents to receive the HIV care, treatment and support they need. 

Through the Egmont Trust Funding, TTF will create youth-friendly spaces that promote HIV awareness, sexual reproductive health and psychosocial therapy with age-appropriate interventions. 

The PEPFAR Small Grants program will enable us to use football coaching sessions, community schools football coach training, football for health tournaments, community school outreach and Routine care for People Living With HIV and AIDS (PLWH) at the TTF clinic as a medium to reach more than 3,180 young people to increase HIV awareness, improve life skills, and create a supportive community environment for young people. 

We are excited to take some of the lessons learned from the TTF Clinic, where we provide supportive HIV learning environments for young people and develop these skills in the community.

Many of these interventions have been supported through donations from private individuals. Your donations help us to refine our approaches, so that we can scale them up and partner with big donors to reach more people.
