Latin America and the Caribbean

Responding to HIV/AIDS 

More than two million adults and children in Latin America and the Caribbean are currently living with HIV. The epidemic increasingly affects women, children, adolescents and poor people. World Vision responds to this increasing pandemic in hundreds of communities by promoting healthy behaviors to reduce HIV transmission, promoting justice by influencing public practice and policy for access to holistic care and fighting stigma, and contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of those affected by community- and home-based care, and through supporting the enhancement of local service networks. 

With the “Hope Initiative Against HIV/AIDS” of World Vision, the work of the local community, churches, governmental agencies and other groups, implements response programs and projects in terms of the local reality, the spread of the epidemic and the political and strategic framework drawn by each country.  

World Vision has developed as series of tools, methodologies and models to address HIV and AIDS with a focus on children, youth, women and higher-risk vulnerable groups. In order to empower the local churches and the understanding of and addressing HIV, the “Channels of Hope” model is being developed in eight countries in our region.
