The Aidsfonds Kids to Care model was built on evidence that strengthening community-based systems and building linkages between those systems and health services, increases identification,
testing, treatment and retention in care for children, adolescents and pregnant and breastfeeding women. Now, more than ever, the Kids to Care model is critical to the wellbeing and health
of children, pregnant, and breastfeeding women. The global community has committed to ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 but this goal will not be reached without an embedded and sustainable community-based response. Aidsfonds’ partners in Indonesia, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia are working to contribute to the global goal by integrating the Kids to Care model into their work. This factsheet showcases their impact and outlines best practices for using this model in other contexts.
