Dream Village Organization recently convened a celebratory event to acknowledge its remarkable strides in implementing the CATS model. This model offers a comprehensive array of specialized services designed specifically for children, adolescents, and young people living with HIV.

The CATS model aims to address various critical aspects of HIV care and support, including promoting awareness, understanding, and acceptance of one’s HIV status. It also emphasizes the importance of initiating and maintaining antiretroviral treatment with confidence while fostering ongoing engagement in treatment, care, and support services. Additionally, the model endeavors to cultivate an environment where beneficiaries feel genuinely cared for, understood, supported, and valued.

Services are primarily led by trained, mentored Adolescents and young people known as Community Adolescent Treatment Supporters or ‘CATS’.  Services are fully aligned and integrated within national systems and service delivery across the HIV care cascade.
