change of name
It is to be noted that Hiwot HIV/AIDS Prevention Care and Support
Association was established at the time HIV infection was at its pick.
The service was meant for HIV infected and affected Orphans and
Vulnerable Children. The founder thought it appropriate to give it the
currently used name which was in line with the then objective of the
association.
However, the currently used name is changed as of April 5 2011 to
Hiwot Integrated Development Association (HIDA) because of the
association has started to get involved in more issues in addition to
HIV/AIDS due to the strategic shift made.
The association has decided to integrate maternal and child health,
hygiene and sanitation, commercial sex workers service, school gardening
service along with HIV/AIDS Prevention and Orphan and Vulnerable
Children’s Care and Support service.
Therefore, we are glad to inform all the concerned that our name is changed to HIDA.  |
