Psychological Support & Direct Aid

ACE recognises that the HIV/AIDS pandemic is not just a long-term development problem but an ongoing emergency.

In remote rural areas where between 35-40% of the adult population are living with HIV/AIDS, over 15% of the children are orphaned and poverty and lack of basic needs for survival are commonplace, psychosocial support, testing facilities and direct aid is essential.

ACE provides short-term emergency support to desperately vulnerable households with the view that they will then be able to access ACE's long term interventions.

These services include:

Outreach Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT)
Outreach counselling and home visits
In School Guidance and Counselling
Nutritional Supplements
Basic Medication
Shelter
School Uniforms and clothes
School Bursaries
