Strengthening HIV prevention in hand with increase of our knowledge and skills
In 2002 and 2007 a training program for peer consultants was developed. Training was delivered for 40 women who were representatives of our target group. For many of them those training became stimuli for further integration. Women, who successfully passed the training, were employed in our projects and presently are members of personnel, volunteers and trainer in our community
Our association not once was named admitted as best practice in prevention and harm reduction. In 2008 we received an award from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for successful in the sphere of traffic.
