Self-help group “Kyianka+” celebrates its first year birthday!

Exactly one year ago started a project of the Kyiv city branch of the All-Ukrainian Network of People Living with HIV – “Immediate Intervention to improve health of HIV positive women in Kyiv”, which was implemented in partnership with ICF “AIDS Foundation East-West” (AFEW-Ukraine) and Positive Women of the World (PWW, the Netherlands) under the financial support of the Gilead Sciences Europe Ltd goSHAPE grant programme.

Over the year the project has helped to radically change the life of 59 women living with HIV. All of them received the necessary social and medical services, increased their knowledge and skills. But most important what the members of the self-help group received is the support and understanding of the peers and desire to continue their development and changing their lives for the better!
