Liverpool to Malawi HIV community project 2007

A collaboration between Sahir House ( Liverpool , UK ) and NAPHAM ( Lilongwe , Malawi )
Volunteers and paid workers from Sahir House have been raising funds to go to Malawi and work in collaboration with the National Association for People living with HIV/AIDS in Malawi (NAPHAM). All money raised went towards air fare, accommodation, training and medical resources. The volunteers were in Malawi for two weeks and delivered a high impact 'HIV in the community' project. Sahir House also aims to bring a team of people from NAPHAM to England to work with Sahir House in order to get a more international understanding of HIV/ AIDS. The team offered support and training to NAPHAM staff, volunteers and the communities of Malawi in the following areas:

• Community HIV training
• Nursing support
• Alternative therapies
• Health and well being support and advice
• HIV and bereavement counselling
• Nutrition workshops using locally grown produce
• Child and family support
• HIV marketing, publicity and information delivery
