Dawn of Hope Ethiopia Association (DHEA), founded by and comprised of PLHIV, implements activities to benefit its 7000 members. Under the grant DHEA expanded its comprehensive counseling program, which includes pre-test, post-test, and ongoing counseling services. An important aspect of the comprehensive counseling plan is the incorporation of ART preparedness. DHEA's home-based care service delivery was also made much more effective by providing the proper materials, medical supplies, and ongoing training to its home-based care providers working in five different branches.
