Description
True Vision Ghana (TVG) helps reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS through community capacity building including treatment, prevention, education and empowerment of youth in Northern Ghana. We hope to reduce the stigma of HIV/AIDS in Northern Ghana and to provide services through the following three programs:
Care and Aid: subsidize HIV+ children and AIDS orphans so that they get equal access to food, education, medicine and other basic needs.
Education and Training: send Ghanaian healthcare workers into remote rural areas in Northern Ghana to promote openness and learning about risk reduction strategies and prevention of HIV/AIDS; facilitate the organization of sex education classes for children in rural villages in Northern Ghana, train youth leaders, and develop a youth run radio program on HIV/AIDS issues.
Economic Empowerment: provide micro-loans to women in rural villages in Northern Ghana so that they can begin to end the cycle of poverty for themselves and their families.
