Donations to the Health and HIV/AIDS Fund will help combat global health issues such as poor nutrition, the spread of infectious diseases, and the devastating social and economic impact of HIV/AIDS. In order to help alleviate these problems, Volunteers and their host communities are planning and implementing projects which focus on preventative health care, nutrition, and disease prevention and mitigation. The range of activities includes immunizations; nutrition and growth monitoring; promotion of breast-feeding; access to prenatal and postnatal care; training health workers; development of public awareness material; and culturally appropriate education strategies.
