This will include communication support to the national HIV & AIDS media campaign, communication support to the national prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes as well as to the programme's own community activities. Nawa Life will have its grounding in HIV & AIDS prevention and care but can also become visible in interventions targeting alcohol abuse or promoting productive and safe leisure activities. In short, Nawa Life’s core is: Living a healthy life in times of HIV & AIDS. less
