About SPARSHA Nepal
SPARSHA Nepal is a community-supported Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). SPARSHA Nepal primarily focuses on reducing the stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS. Initially started as an informal network in 2002, SPARSHA Nepal, registered formally in 2004 is run by and for People Living with HIV and AIDS and their friends (PLHAF). The organization believes in a comprehensive response to HIV/AIDS, which includes providing preventive messages to the general population, necessary quality treatment and care and support services and capacity building for PLHA and other Most Risk Populations (MRPs), with a special focus on drug users (DUs).
SPARSHA Nepal networks, coordinates, and collaborates with like-minded grass root organizations, local as well as the central government, international/national NGOs and human rights organizations. The organization has been adopting Community Mobilization as an approach for sustainability of its activities and has been trying to foster an alliance with local communities and the corporate sector.
