The German Development Cooperations celebrated together the World AIDS Day 2010

Since 2005 the international motto of the World AIDS Day is STOP AIDS: Keep the promise and the slogan of 2010 is  "Act aware".

In this spirit, the German Development Cooperations in Tanzania designed an event in connection with the World AIDS Day around the topic of Home Based Care for AIDS patients. Home Based Care plays a great and important role in all AIDS activities in Africa and much of the care for people with HIV and AIDS is provided at home by immediate family and friends, as well as by home based care organizations.
