What do we do?
Through the commitment of core trainer monks, nuns,
achars, fieldworkers, volunteers and a dedicated staff, SCC has been able
to follow the care based approach and to improve the lives of people infected
with and affected by HIV/AIDS, especially orphaned and vulnerable children, in
its target provinces of Phnom Penh, Battambang and Siem Reap.
By adopting a 'train the trainer' approach, core trainer
monks and nuns successfully cascade their knowledge, skills and
expertise throughout the religious network to the maximum effect. SCC monks
and nuns provide mental counseling. SCC staff encourages people to take care of
their beloved ones in their own homes and communities, and to use pagodas
as centers’ for information, education and communication.
Collaboration between NGOs like CHEC, LWF,
CPN+ and other service providers has also improved and SCC is an active member
in networks including the HIV/AIDS Coordinating Committee (HACC) and
regional home based care networks.
