Free and Voluntary Training – This is the HIV AIDS Training and Home Based Care Givers Training. These are free courses run by SAP’s volunteers to sensitize the community of the dangers of and means of prevention of HIV AIDS. Also tackled is the issue of Home Based Care for Persons Living with HIV AIDS. These courses have proven very popular within the slums and are rapidly breaking the stigma surrounding HIV AIDS.

Bridge Meetings – Sensitization Meetings with Head Teachers, Church Leaders, Local Administration and Community Leaders. SAP organizes meetings with these leaders and has sessions where they too are trained about HIV AIDS. These meetings help bridge the gap as the messages are then trickled down the authority chain.
