Working In Partnership To Support Children And Young People

Sentebale’s Clubs and Camps programme were suspended during COVID-19, and as highlighted in this report, this had implications on the wellbeing and health of children and young people living with HIV.

As a doctor working for our clinical partner, Elizabeth Glazer Paediatric Foundation (EGPAF) noted, children living with HIV were seeing an increase in their viral load and subsequently poor health, as their ability to adhere to their treatment faltered.

With the resumption of facility based network clubs and the camps held at the ‘Mamohato Children’s Centre, hope was meeting the country’s targets and achieving HIV epidemic control.

Sentebale’s ability to mobilise resources the services and support that children and young people desperately need through winter camp, has contributed to the success in the health and wellbeing outcomes of children and young people. partners and their individual, and our collective roles in supporting children with treatment complications, that enabled us to track treatment outcomes and ensure they receive the necessary level of support to lead healthy, productive lives.

In June 2022, in collaboration with our partners, EGPAF, Baylor College of Medicine, and the Ministry of Health we hosted camps for 379 children.
