Foundation Esther Boucicault Stanislas (FEBS)

The Fondation Esther Boucicault Stanislas (FEBS) aims to improve the quality of life of PLWHA in Bas-Artibonite by providing quality care and support services and reducing stigma and discrimination. Quality services include up-to-date and appropriate clinical and counseling practices, flexible clinic hours and location to meet the needs of the target community, a referral system to HIV/AIDS clinical care and support services and strong linkages to other organizations providing general support and education to the PLWHA community. Furthermore, through a communication campaign, peer education and advocacy activities, PLWHA will be empowered not only to seek care and support services, but to also make other improvements in their lives that will subsequently put them at a lesser risk for opportunistic infections, social isolation, gender-based violence, and remaining in a cycle of poverty.
