Since 1994, Cambodian HIV/AIDS Education and Care (CHEC), formerly Quaker Services Australia, has been reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS and helping Cambodians cope with the epidemic. Training people is its core service. And since inception, more than 8000 people have received CHEC’s HIV/AIDS training.
Mobilising community resources and supporting people already affected has proven the most sustainable way of dealing with TB/HIV/AIDS and STIs. It is the hallmark of CHEC’s work and it is achieved in partnership with the Provincial Health Department and the National AIDS Office. The organisations work together planning and implementing programs with local communities. CHEC also works with local and international NGOs exchanging information and experience and creating complementary services.
CHEC’s strength is in its intervention programs and its family approach to providing care and support. Training programs and workshops in HIV/AIDS prevention, care and help more than 600 community workers across the country promote safe health practices and look after people whose lives have already been affected by the pandemic.
For the first time ever, in 2004 CHEC began working with the national media to raise general awareness among young people about HIV/AIDS.
