National
Association of People Living with HIV/AIDS
in Nepal (NAP+N) is
a non-political, non religious, non-governmental,
non-profitable, autonomous network of
People Living with HIV/AIDS and as such,
a platform for collaboration, cooperation,
joint action and collective endeavor between
PLHA and HIV/AIDS organizations in Nepal.
NAP+N
is established in 2003 in order to combat
this epidemic with the joint effort of
PLHAs in Nepal. The common goal was "To
unite all those living with the virus
in Nepal and fight back". Since its
establishment with 30 members in first
NCM from 8 districts of Nepal, it has
expanded its regional office in 5 regions
and 40 districts. More than 58 staffs
in the region and central office are engaging
to improve the quality of life of PLHAs
and HIV AND AIDS free society. 120 PLHA
organizations are affiliated to NAP+N
and has estimated 7000 members. 61 PLHA
organizations are getting financial support
for institutional development, care and
support for the PLHA'S in Nepal.
Mr.
Rajiv Kafle, Former President, NAP+N (2002 - 2011)
National
Association of People living with
AIDS in Nepal (NAP+N) aims at uniting people living
with AIDS from across the country
to ensure access to treatment,
care, support and meaningful involvement
at all levels. Only few years
back it was difficult for people
living with AIDS to lead a normal
life without a fear of discrimination.
Today there are more than 100
groups led by PLHAs themselves
across the country. Few years
back access to treatment and care
was a distant dream for PLHAs
in the country. Now those who
need treatment do not have to
travel very far to get it. This
is a result of the collective
effort of all those who are working
at different levels especially
on the forefront of this battle
against AIDS. NAPN looks forward
to become the leader in fighting
AIDS in Nepal. |
Ms.
Natisara Rai, President, NAP+N 2011
National Association of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Nepal (NAP+N) has been working for the rights of PLWHA since 2003. Importantly: NAP+N has been advocating for PLWHAs treatment and care including raising awareness in community, national and international levels.
In the capacity of national network of PLWHA, NAP+N has been focusing to insure rights of all PLWHA in Nepal. Due to limited resources, NAP+N have not been able to continuously meet the basic requirements of all PLWHAs.
Being HIV positive women, I am aware of the troubles women PLHWA face in day to day life. I would appreciate the help of all stakeholders including national and international communities to uplift the lives of PLWHA women and correlated issues. I hope by working together, we can ensure equity and meet the countries target.
Previous leader’s positive thought and support, women leadership has been accepted. I see this transformation as women empowerment which will be a model for social transformation. I hope this transformation will tear down the ill thought and patriarchy society. |
