ACET teams in many countries are working in local communities to bring care and support to those infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. Our home based care teams, made up of local, trained volunteers, visit people in their own homes, bringing understanding, counselling and practical help.  Our orphan care programme also offers help with food and school fees to many thousands of children left alone or at risk following the death of their parents. Every child should have the right to a happy, fulfilled childhood, surrounded by love and acceptance.

AIDS prevention is at the heart of ACET's work.  Every day, many thousands more become infected with HIV, yet almost all new infection can be prevented. And every day, ACET teams go into schools, colleges, churches and other community organisations, visiting drug users, commercial sex workers, taxi drivers, truck drivers - getting health messages to every part of the community about how to protect yourself and those you love from HIV. As part of prevention, we encourage those who think they may have been at risk to receive counsellng and HIV testing, so they can have the best chance to get treatment early.
