Reaching HIV/AIDS Affected People with Integrated Development and Support(RAPIDS)Chief of Party Batuke Walusiku says about 20, 000 caregivers in Zambia will be honoured for their assistance to vulnerable children and those orphaned due to HIV/AIDS.
Ms Walusiku said her organisation will tomorrow honour its 19,839 caregivers for their wide contributions and care for HIV/AIDS victims.
She said the honoured caregivers will, apart from receiving tokens of appreciation, also participate in a short refresher course on care giving using the RAPIDS guidebook.
She pointed out that the United States government through RAPIDS has invested US$57 million dollars for the 2004 – 2010 period to help mitigate the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
The Chief of Party said this during a press briefing held at RAPIDS offices in Lusaka today.
And caregiver Lesta Chingangu has urged communities to combat HIV/AIDS which has affected a number of people.
Ms. Chingangu observed that RAPIDS helped lessen the challenges being faced by caregivers in the country through their continuous support.
She said many orphans are able to go back to school with the help of RAPIDS adding that the number of orphans has since risen from 50 to 261 thousand under the RAPIDS programme.
