The Letlama (Lesotho Together Against HIV and AIDS Partnership) Project is a five-year project, supported by PEPFAR through the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Led by Population Services International (PSI), Letlama will improve the health of the Basotho people by reducing the incidence of HIV infection through the promotion of protective behaviours and support for healthier social norms among young people 15-24 and adults 25-35.

Working together with the Ministry of Health, public institutions, private sector partners, and an extensive network of community-based organizations, the Letlama Project will:

• Improve the capacity of Basotho institutions to lead, sustain and harmonize the HIV prevention response and deliver high quality HIV prevention services to scale;
• Empower communities to adopt social and cultural norms, attitudes, and values that reduce vulnerability to HIV; and,
• Improve the ability and motivation of Basotho youth and adults to change their behaviours through increased knowledge, risk perception, skills, and access to services.

JHU•CCP is working with local organizations to design, implement and monitor SBCC programs. Our goal is to work hand-in-hand with each of these organizations to support and strengthen their SBCC effort in country.
