Narrative report 2018-2020
For more than 20 years Novoye Vremya Foundation carries
out activity in HIV/AIDS/TB field to decrease further spread of socially
significant diseases in Russia.
Since June 2018 our organisation has been implementing
the project aimed to children, adolescents from families affected by HIV
and drug use protect themselves against health and life-threatening
influence, and use the acquired knowledge, skills, charitable support to
stabilize their health and living circumstances and overcome their
social exclusion
310 HIV positive children (179 of them live in the small
towns) and 408 HIV negative children, living in families affected by HIV
infection were supported by Novoye Vremya during two last years and 327
adult carers
Due to our active work on attracting clients into the
project, development of cooperation with state support services,
popularity of the project among clients, a bigger amount of clients made
use of the project services than planned.
HIV-positive children have received social and
psychological support that facilitated improvement of social situation,
emotional and psychological condition, adherence to medical follow-up
and treatment. Their iving conditions have been improved through regular
medical care and treatment, granting of the guardianship, receipt of
state social benefits, participation in development programs,
establishing contacts with other children.
HIV positive women have improved their personal standard
of living identifying the source of existence or through employment or
through social support, restoring family contacts, learning to solve
their own problems and the problems of their children actively. They
demonstrate responsibility for their health and comply with the rules of
medical care and treatment. Long-term impact of the project is determined by the changes that happen at different levels. Our clients, changing themselves, affect people around them: members of their families, partners, specialists of state and non-governmental organizations that they come in contact with. Reducing internal stigma, extending their potential and raising the level of responsibility change attitude to them, reduce discrimination and stigmatization of people with HIV, reduce the tension in the society. Project clients also influence other people living with HIV by brining health preserving behavior models into HIV-positive society, as well as behavior models that prevent spread of HIV-infection and tuberculosis, reduction of abuse in a family, reduction of negative consequences of addictions. 23.06.2017 by the order of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, the Novoye Vremya Foundation was included in the register of non-profit organizations performing the functions of a foreign agent.
