THRIVE aims to dramatically reduce mortality among adults and children living with HIV by enabling access to critical prevention, screening, and treatment commodities, and centering local leadership and community-owned solutions to find and serve people living with AHD where they are.
This work is made possible with the support of Unitaid through the Clinton Health Access Initiative-led THRIVE project in partnership with Afrocab and Penta.
Across Benue State in Nigeria, vulnerable children are being reached through community-led interventions that are saving lives. From infants to adolescents, these stories remind us of the critical and urgent importance of linking children with HIV to the care they deserve.
When Stella Machuma first visited a clinic in Bungoma, Western Kenya, she carried not only her one-and-a-half-year-old son but also a heavy burden of fear. What began as a routine antenatal care visit during her pregnancy in 2023 would change her life forever.
On 4-5 September 2025, THRIVE project partners convened in Maputo, Mozambique to deliver a targeted two-day training workshop focused on Hospital Care for the Severely Ill Child with Advanced HIV Disease (AHD).
"By deepening collaboration, expanding the scope of work, and embracing innovation, there is hope that the target of ending AIDS by 2030 remains within reach. The work continues, and the world must remain united in this essential mission."
