In collaboration with the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI), CAFU is implementing the Kampala HIV Project (KHP) in three divisions of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA). KHP aims to accelerate epidemic control in Uganda by scaling up evidence-based interventions, focusing on achieving the UNAIDS 90:90:90 goal. The project offers comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services, prioritizing key populations such as orphaned and vulnerable children, adolescent girls and young women, pregnant and lactating women, and key and priority populations.
CAFU is spearheading the SUFA-SABA-Plus Project in Buvuma district, aimed at expanding efforts to identify new children and adolescents living with HIV (CALHIV). This initiative is critical in a district heavily reliant on fishing, where the HIV prevalence among fisherfolk is three times higher than the general population. By scaling up HIV diagnosis and enhancing linkages to care and treatment, CAFU is making significant strides in combating HIV/AIDS in Buvuma, ultimately fostering healthier communities and improving access to essential healthcare services.
The UPMB/USAID LSDA project is dedicated to supporting Uganda’s fight against HIV/AIDS, aiming to achieve epidemic control and end AIDS by 2030. With approximately 1.4 million people living with HIV in Uganda, the project focuses on implementing targeted interventions, including expanding HIV testing and counseling, increasing access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and providing support to key populations such as adolescent girls, young women, men who have sex with men, sex workers, and people who inject drugs. By addressing these challenges, the project contributes to Uganda’s broader strategy to reduce HIV transmission and improve treatment access, ultimately working towards an AIDS-free generation by 2030.
CAFU operates three comprehensive ART care centers: Family Hope Centre Jinja (FHCJ), Kampala Family Hope Center Kampala (FHCK), and Namugongo Facility for Special Children (NFSC). These centers offer evidence-based, integrated HIV and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services through family-centered care models, with the index client at the center. At FHCJ, FHCK, and NFSC, individuals and families receive comprehensive care and support tailored to their needs, ensuring access to essential HIV treatment, counseling, and SRHR services. Through these centers, CAFU is committed to promoting holistic health and well-being, empowering communities, and advancing the fight against HIV/AIDS in Uganda.
Explore our legacy of impactful initiatives through our past projects. From community-based health programs to advocacy campaigns, CAFU has a rich history of driving positive change in Uganda. While these projects have reached their conclusion, their impact continues to resonate in the communities we serve.
The New Hope Project, implemented by CAFU as a prime partner of the CDC, was a transformative initiative aimed at providing comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services through Indigenous Health Facilities (IHFs) in Uganda. Operating across Kampala, Wakiso, Bushenyi, Sheema, and Jinja, the project achieved significant milestones, serving over 32,450 patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART), with 66% being female and 6.5% children.
CAFU was awarded two Global Fund Grants in 2015. Grant I focused on providing comprehensive HIV/AIDS care, treatment, and prevention services in underserved districts along Lake Victoria and Kyoga shores, as well as addressing multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in selected districts. Grant II aimed at strengthening health systems in Kampala and Wakiso for better implementation of TB, malaria, and HIV services. Through these grants, CAFU significantly contributed to Uganda’s healthcare landscape, expanding access to quality services and supporting efforts against HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria.
In collaboration with USAID and URC, CAFU implemented the USAID/RHITES-EC/URC/CAFU-FHCJ project, providing essential healthcare services in Jinja and its surroundings through the Family Hope Centre Jinja (FHCJ), an Indigenous Health Facility owned by CAFU. The project reached 4,354 HIV-positive adults and children, delivering comprehensive antiretroviral therapy (ART) and related services. Through this initiative, CAFU made significant strides in improving healthcare access and outcomes for communities in Jinja and neighboring districts, contributing to Uganda’s broader efforts in combating HIV/AIDS and enhancing public health.
