We provide health services and peer education on HIV/AIDS, STIs, and general sexual health, as well as counseling and guidance on positive living for people living with HIV. We support LGBTIQ sex workers by offering financial literacy training, practical skills, and pathways to safe, sustainable income-generating activities.
