The USAID-supported Social Services for Vulnerable Populations (SSVP) project aims to mitigate the risk and impact of HIV/AIDS and other health issues on Rwanda’s most vulnerable groups, including people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA), orphans, and vulnerable children (OVC) and their families. This grant builds upon ongoing USAID assistance to the Government of Rwanda, enabling these populations to access essential health and social services for productive lives. The project focuses on key health areas like HIV/AIDS care, prevention, and treatment, family planning, maternal/child health, child survival, malaria, and nutrition. Furthermore, it connects vulnerable families to crucial support services, encompassing education, economic empowerment, and legal protection, ultimately addressing the broader impacts of HIV disease.

| Description: | The goal of the Social Services for Vulnerable Populations Project is to reduce the risk and impact of HIV/AIDS and other health conditions on most vulnerable populations in Rwanda, especially people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA), orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and their families. The project builds upon USAID support to the Government of Rwanda (GOR) to support these vulnerable populations to access health and social services that enable them to live productive lives. The project will work in the health areas of HIV/AIDS care, prevention and treatment, family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH), maternal/neonatal/child health (MNCH), child survival (CS), malaria and nutrition. In addition to linking PLHA, OVC and other vulnerable families to basic health care, it will also link with support services that mitigate the impact of HIV disease, including services that promote or support education, economic empowerment, and legal protection. |
