Project #1154

AIDS Counselling And Testing

AllCountries in the District

District: 9200

Rotary Club: D9200

30-Apr-11

Time: All Day

Number of Volunteers Expected: 5000

Location: In All Clubs in the District

All the countries that constitute District 9200 have suffered from the scourge of HIV/AIDS. The virus has claimed millions of lives. In Kenya it is estimated that about one and a half million people are currently living with the HIV infection. The disease has created fear in our communities and stigmatized AIDS victims including the 1i.i% of children under the age of 15 who have lost one or both parents to the pandemic and have become AIDS Orphans. Of those infected only 16% had been tested for HIV/ AIDS. According to the 6th Report on AIDS in Ethiopia 1.267,000 people had died of AIDS by 2005 and it projected that by 2010 1.9 million deaths would be recorded. There were Ethiopian 744,100 AIDS Orphans. Yet only 5% of the population had been tested. Statistics for other countries in the District are also very dismal.

It is vital that people know their HIV status. Testing and counseling for HIV brings benefits to individuals and couples. Those who test negative can be counseled on ways to avoid getting infected. Those who test positive can be treated with anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs that prolong life.

DG Stephen Mwanje has chosen HIV Counseling and Testing as the District 9200 project for Rotarians at Work Day. The Day will be observed on 30th April 2011. The Rotarians for Fighting AIDS Action Group (RFFA) under the leadership of its founder, Rtn. Marion Bunch, will provide assistance as needed.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The 2010/11 DG Stephen Mwanje will be the overall director of the project. He will be assisted by the District Rotarians at Work Chair,Peters K. Musoke, the District HIV/AIDS/RFFA Chair,Eric Krystall, the District Secretary, Robert Wagwa Nsibirwa, and other District Chairs as necessary.

Country Chairs will direct the project at the country level. They will be assisted by the Country Rotarians at Work and Country HIV/AIDS Officers and a Rotarians at Work interclub committee.

The Presidents of the Rotary Clubs in the District will direct the Rotarians at Work project assisted by their respective Community Service Directors/Service Projects Chairs and Rotarians at Work sub-committees.

Rotaract and Interact clubs will assist at the field level.

TASKS

Will include:

• The Ministry of Health in each country must be approached to grant permission to hold the Rotarians at Work Day and to cooperate by providing government VCT facilities for testing.

• All facilities must be staffed and fully equipped.

• Information and education materials must be developed.
