CFHI has through the Positive Action for Children Fund (PACF) funded HAPPY! Project executed extensive work on: breaking the silence around HIV/STI; addressing key barriers to accessing HIV/PMTCT prevention services; increase demand for HIV Testing & Counselling and male involvement in Ante-Natal Care. These were achieved by working with and deploying existing community structures, employing high impact community sensitization/educational activities and establishment of important partnership with over ten (10) government/non-government organizations. Through these education and behaviour-change intended activities, we have actively reached over 8000 individuals across Obi Local Government, training about 20 adolescents as ‘HIV Prevention Champions’ (Peer educators) in the process.

Overall, the project has successfully achieved its targets and taken advantage of unexpected opportunities to further realize its tripartite objectives.
