In this case-study, we describe the unique Bloom model and interventions, highlight key results, share important lessons and provide recommendations for how the project could be  scaled up and integrated into the Kids to Care model. The project builds on Aidsfonds’ highly successful Kids to Care model and seeks to test new ways of reaching and supporting young mothers and their children living with HIV, with the goal of helping them to achieve a healthy life. It targets young mothers aged 10-24, focusing primarily on young mothers aged 10-18 years.
