AIDS Infoshare seeks American organizations to partner with
10 Russian organizations doing AIDS-related projects
AIDS Infoshare, a US registered 501 (c)(3) organization based in
Moscow, Russia, is seeking organizational partners for their
INFOEXCHANGE project. INFOEXCHANGE is a small grants project that is
supporting 10 Russian non-profit organizations in realizing original
projects on STD/HIV prevention among Women. The 10 participationg
organizations were chosen in December from a pool of 32 applicants, and
are located throughout the Russian Federation. The project is one year
in duration, during which the Russian organization receives funding of
$3000, training on project management and computers, as well as a
computer, printer and modem.
An American partner organization could provide valuable
information about their past experience doing similar projects, examples
of literature they have produced, as well as basic support and
encouragement. For most of the Russian organizations, this is the first
time they are doing a project of this kind, and advice and information
are very important for their success.
We ask that the American partner send relevant information to the
organization (through our US office), communicate by fax, e-mail or letter
at least once a month, and be ready to answer any specific questions the
Russian organization might have.
The projects chosen range in time frame from 6 months to one
year, and for those partnerships that are particularly successful, we
will try to find funds to bring the American partners to Russia in order
to meet their Russian partners at the close of the project. A short
description of the chosen projects follows. If your organization has
done anything similar to any of these projects, and is interested in
becoming a partner organization, or if you have any questions, please
e-mail [email protected] or fax (510) 843-4066.
* ALBA and the Association of Donskii Doctors, located in Azov and
Moscow, will create a video film about STD prevention for teenagers,
that may be used in educational institutions, policlinics, women's
consultations, and other types of clinics for teenagers.
* The organization of support to women with HIV/AIDS in St. Petersburg will
organize an event commemorating people who have died of AIDS on Palace
square on May 25, as well as produce 6 leaflets for HIV+ women. The
group will lead monthly lectures in schools for teenagers on HIV/STD
prevention.
* Association SANAM in Moscow will produce and distribute a total of 2000
copies of three brochures: "Human papilloma virus and genital warts";
"STDs and sterility in women"; and "HIV/AIDS".
* Siberian Initiative in Barnaul will develop and run four
seminar-trainings for teachers in four schools of the region, with the
hope that those trained will serve as informational sources not only for
the students they teach, but also for their colleagues, friends,
relatives and sexual partners.
* The Belorussian Fund Stop-AIDS in Minsk will produce 3000 copies of a
brochure for women 14-29 years old on STDs and HIV, design and produce
1000 thematic posters, and write monthly press releases for a popular
magazine "Aphrodite".
* The Cheliabinsk Fund AntiAIDS will conduct research about the actual
condition of STDs in the region, and what girls aged 13-18 know about
STDs. Then 3000 copies of a brochure "An open letter to teenage girls"
will be written and produced.
* AIDS-Aid in Tomsk will develop and lead seminar-trainings on sexuality
issues, STDs, and prevention for girls 14-16 years old, their mothers,
and biology teachers of schools in Tomsk. The seminars will be tailored
to fit the needs of each individual group. In addition, a brief
brochure on STDs will be prepared for teenage girls.
* The Center for the Formation of Sexual Culture in Yaroslavl will work
with teenage girls to train them as peer educators in women's clinics.
In addition, an analysis will be done on the resources available for
preventative, diagnostic and treatment care of STDs in private and state
institutions of the area, and an informational bulletin will be produced
for teenagers with this information, as well as information on STDs and
HIV.
* A-Vesta, in Barnaul, will create a coordinative center focussed on
education and prevention of HIV/AIDS and STDs, which will include a
library, educational materials, and methodological base. In addition,
they will train 20 specialists to work with pregnant women on these
topics, and provide special times for consultation and use of the center
by pregnant women.
* The Center of Narcology in Moscow will research the existing systems and
types of consultation on HIV/STD prevention used with women drug users,
as well as how informed this group is about risk behavior connected with
HIV transmission. Using the results of the research, they will create
and produce 1500 copies of a small brochure on HIV prevention for women
drug users.
