Health Projects
HIV/Aids Prevention Project - Hope:
Planet Aid UK has supported Hope Projects in India with donations of almost £20,000. Humana People to People India currently implements four such projects including two in Delhi, one in Rajasthan and another in Haryana.
India has the highest number of persons living with HIV/AIDS in the world today, with 2.1 million people tested positive, but taking the total population of 1.21 billion into consideration, the overall prevalence remains low.
The HOPE India projects are working along the policy of the National Aids Control Organisation, with focus on reaching the most vulnerable groups in the society. The projects provide information on HIV/AIDS prevention, assistance with access to health services such as STI/STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) treatment, HIV testing and referral services, if necessary.

Planet Aid UK has supported TCE projects in both Namibia and India with donations of £3,140 and £8,890 respectively.
Total Control of the Epidemic is based on the understanding that 'only the people can liberate themselves from AIDS'. TCE employs Field Officers who go door to-door, informing, educating, discussing, debating, mobilising and motivating people in their communities so that they understand and take control of HIV in their own lives
Field Officers are supported by initiate and support activities in the communities and organize workshops, rallies and campaigns. They also form and run Youth Clubs, support groups for 'People Living with HIV and AIDS', establish condom outlets and distribute condoms and they establish community libraries and initiate Income Generating Activities etc.
