POZ creates and strengthens self-help support groups in four geographical areas of Haiti: the west, northeast and southeast and the north districts. The self-help groups learn to identify initiatives that contribute to improving conditions of sero-positive individuals, their families, and their communities. The project also increases PLWHA groups' advocacy skills and empower them to take a more active role in reducing the rate of spread of HIV/AIDS and stigma and discrimination.
