• CHEC works closely with thousands of people, teaching the facts about tuberculosis (TB), HIV/AIDS and STI transmission and prevention. CHEC has built the capacity of health care providers to provide counseling, care and support to people with HIV/AIDS and to link their care and support system with the community and village volunteers, thereby increasing the support base significantly over the years. By increasing the knowledge of the community and caregivers, it is possible to reduce the fears and ignorance that are major factors in discrimination towards people with HIV/AIDS. In addition, CHEC assists the communities to mobilize and develop appropriate care and support mechanisms for people with HIV/AIDS, from home-based care to hospital care..
