Under the CASCADED Programme, DASH Foundation provides free and confidential HIV testing and counselling services at its Health Centre III and through community-based activities. These services support early detection, prevention and treatment, which are essential for protecting maternal and child health.
Expectant mothers are encouraged to know their HIV status early to reduce the risk of mother to child transmission. Adolescents and youth receive age appropriate counselling that promotes safe behaviour and informed decision making.
Through strengthening HIV prevention and care, the programme contributes to healthier families and improved survival outcomes for children under five.
