Zvandiri
Zvandiri, “As I am”, is transforming young lives through peer connections to assure health, happiness, and hope. We began 18 years ago with six young people living with HIV who wanted more than just the medicines and clinic visits. They established a support group which has evolved into the Zvandiri model of community, clinic and digital health services, in partnership with governments, to deliver services to young people living with HIV. We believe our evidence-based model that connects young people with trained, mentored peers provides a holistic approach that is innovative and ensures sustainable impact. Zvandiri started in Zimbabwe and has been adopted and scaled in 8 countries with 1600 trained peers we call Community Adolescent Treatment Supporters or CATS. Our goal is to expand our Zvandiri model to 20 countries by 2030 to deliver health, happiness and hope to 1 million young people living with HIV.
