GAIA's programs assist communities in Malawi to respond to the devastating effects of the AIDS epidemic. Through our local and community partners, we deliver a variety of life-saving services to people in need with a particular emphasis on Malawi's most vulnerable citizens: women and children.
Our approach to preventing and treating HIV involves strengthening healthcare institutions, improving the delivery of healthcare services and working closely with communities to empower local people, particularly women, in the struggle against HIV.
We have eight core programs that provide life-saving services to
communities in need:
