A report 2.3 million individuals were included with treatment programs during the last two years-an increase of 59%. South Africa expanded its cure services to achieve 1.7 million people-an increase of 75% during the final two years. In Zimbabwe, 260,000 extra people got HIV treatment, checking in a 118% scaling ratio. Upwards of 100,000 people suffering from HIV were participating in HIV therapy in Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Uganda and Zambia.

In spite of impressive results, sub-Saharan Africa included 72% in all additional HIV infections. Furthermore, there are still 7 million people who are not receiving therapy.

Through a door-to-door strategy, TCE area officers teach, notify and counsel each and every person inside a prescribed target area, strengthening them to develop optimistic choices in terms of safe sexual behavior with regard to HIV/AIDS or other behaviors related to the other epidemics. Volunteers, named “Passionates,” help with supplementary TCE activities including school and office strategies, women’s clubs, orphan care, house care and much more. Furthermore, TCE programs build relationships with present services, governmental and otherwise, and provide individuals with access to those services through recommendations. The practice and taking part of the Passionates, youngsters clubs, social commanders as well as other town group individuals and groups provides project long-term sustainability.
