Sustaining healthy behaviors in communities requires a concentrated capacity building to improve performance of health providers, health community representatives and peer educators. The focus is on increasing the knowledge, skills and technology to implement and sustain science-based, culturally appropriate prevention interventions and strategies.

https://www.enablehealthsociety.org/Formed in 2004, EHS initiated its efforts in reducing the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the lives of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) through structured treatment education to ensure 95% adherence to antiretroviral treatment. EHS took a preventive health approach for PLHIV to adopt behaviors to prevent opportunistic infections, (TB, Diarrheal diseases, Skin infections, Pneumonia etc) thereby improving the quality of life. EHS ensured that it reflected in the peer education and counseling, reaching out to people living with HIV in the country. We expanded to Sexual and reproductive health services to ensure pregnancies of positive couples could be planned, and they are able to access the Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission (PPTCT) diet programs to ensure their children can be free of HIV and their right to parenthood can be exercised in a supported environment. We were able to achieve this through strengthening the capacity of public, private & community-based networks in providing quality care. We worked in partnerships building linkages with the government, through the involvement of people living with HIV & support treatment and care services across 9 states in the country. Forging effective partnerships like these makes it possible to bring affordable safe drinking water to families around the country and help prevent waterborne illness.
