COVID-19 RESPONSE

A MALARIA is preventable, treatable and curable, yet it is the leading killer in Angola. ADPP’s schools-based and community health initiatives are contributing to the fight. Aside from its dedicated malaria interventions, ADPP incorporates malaria prevention into all other projects

 COMMUNITY CONTROL OF MALARIA

Teachers, pupils and locally recruited community health agents together created an environment of knowledge and practices to help people take positive charge of their own health. 9,000 families and 150 schools participated. Exploring new avenues to reach ever more people, the project created links between sport and the dissemination of health messages. Inter-school tournaments and sports clubs provided a stage for talks and campaigns about malaria, HIV and TB.

Creating links between individuals, communities and the health system are fundamental in order to prevent HIV/AIDS and to ensure treatment adherence.

 HIV TREATMENT ADHERENCE

Pregnant women with HIV received the practical and psychological support they needed to stay in treatment and ensure their children had the best possible chance to beat the disease thanks to the continuous presence of activists in their lives, through telephone calls, home visits and sessions at health clinics. In addition, the activists assisted people of all ages to adhere to anti-retroviral treatment while changing attitudes and conceptions about HIV. This personal support was greatly appreciated as it tackled the feeling of isolation that affected many patients, and that frequently led to depression.

 PREVENTING HIV/AIDS AMONG ADOLESCENT GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN

ADPP’s Girls Clubs are a way of reaching adolescent girls and women with information, advice and assistance regarding HIV. Young women are particularly vulnerable because of a lack of knowledge of sexual and reproductive health combined with entrenched gender attitudes plus stigma about HIV. After reaching 22,500 girls in the first phase, ADPP expanded the project and exceeded the goal of 25,000 in 2019.

TUBERCULOSISis a leading killer in Angola, but there is weak knowledge on prevention, symptoms and treatment. ADPP works to improve awareness, combat stigma and organize the community response.
