Saving the Sick and Improving the Socio-economic Conditions of People Living with HIV in Ethiopia through Traditional Burial Groups
Jul 26, 2012 | by Francis Ogojo Okello
FHI 360 collaborated with the Ethiopian government, local NGOs and traditional burial societies to implement community and home-based care interventions for PLHIV in 14 major cities in Ethiopia. This study examines program results from 2003 to 2010, and concludes that individuals who received the integrated community and home-based care services from traditional burial societies reported significantly more savings, better social relations, more independence and better environments for PLHIV.
