ABOUT US
SHDEPHA+ is
an acronym for Service, Health, and Development for People living with
HIV/AIDS. It is a national non-governmental organization, registered on
21 November 1994 with registration number SO 8216. SHDEPHA+ originated
from the initiatives of fifteen people living with HIV/AIDS whose goal
was to create a network and to mobilize resources to help people living
with HIV/AIDS and to fight the spread of the disease. Although
originally focusing on people living with HIV/AIDS, over the years
SHDEPHA+ has expanded having over 65 branches countrywide and now covers
people both infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Each branch of SHDEPHA+
works independently, developing, managing and implementing its own
projects; though all branches share one constitution and registration.
