JSI (John Snow International) Europe and SAfAIDS (Southern African HIV and AIDS Information Dissemination Service) are pleased to announce the availability of a new publication, "Planning the Future: A Booklet for Families and Communities."
The booklet aims to reach HIV positive spouses and HIV positive parents, their children, extended family members, and standby guardians while the family is still in a position to plan for the future. The booklet addresses the continuum of care for children that starts at the time of parental diagnosis or illness and continues through parental death and orphanhood. The booklet contains information on disclosing HIV status to children, appointing standby guardians, creating 'memories,' inheritance laws, writing wills and transferring property, accessing social services, and obtaining key legal documents.
While much of the information is specific to the Zimbabwe context, the general guidelines can be useful anywhere that children are affected by HIV/AIDS.
The booklet can be downloaded from www.zhap.org - Publications section. If you experience any difficulty downloading this resource, please contact SAfAIDS for a hard copy, informing them that you are unable to download the booklet.
