The purpose of the Kara Counseling and Training Trust program is to raise awareness and create the safe spaces needed to allow communities to begin the process of creating a social movement to reduce the impact of HIV and TB-related stigma by using the ICRW Understanding and Challenging HIV/AIDS Stigma: A Toolkit for Action in a series of workshops with key community players. Kara is facilitating and supporting community initiatives that develop anti-stigma activities and address knowledge gaps, in order to reduce stigma and discrimination.
