We would like to initiate partnerships with new partners and donor organizations, get new ideas from friendly organizations, develop HIV/AIDS prevention services in our region and to hopefully receive funding for this. We are also interested in professional growth of our staff members; we are ready to take part in trainings and would be happy to share our experience.
Our organization was found in 1999. For 11 years we have been working in the field of HIV/AIDS and drug dependency. We are working with various vulnerable groups: HIV-positive adults and children, drug users, inmates, sex workers and at-risk youth.
In 2010 we established good connections with the new power structures, some of our staff members have become members of parliament, and we can influence policy making in our city.
