About this area
Why this area matters
We take preventive health care into the heart of communities. We train community counsellors in community-based HIV counselling and testing (ATSC), PrEP and gender-based violence, strengthening the HIV response in the districts of Beira, Dondo and Búzi.
With a mobile tent and the ATSC and Listening Corner, we offer adolescents and young people listening sessions, individual and group counselling, voluntary and confidential testing, and referrals to specialised health services.
