Pact provides grants to improve community-based care and support services to People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) and to implement key prevention interventions in collaboration with NGOs, community-based organizations and faith-based organizations as a part of USAID South Africa's Regional HIV/AIDS Program for Southern Africa (RHAP). Grants are given to support work in the areas of HIV Prevention predominantly through abstinence and being faithful, counseling and testing, palliative care treatment adherence and care and support for orphans and vulnerable children.

We currently work with eight local partner organizations to ensure an effective and sustained response to HIV/AIDS in Lesotho. In addition we provide our partners with organizational development assistance in financial and program management, program design, monitoring, evaluation and reporting, and documentation skills. We also provide our partners with access to HIV technical assistance in behavior change communication, OVC service delivery and home-based care with emphasis on developing palliative care standards and guidelines.
