Additional Information

Hope Through Health (HTH) is a US-based not-for-profit organization.  Since 2005, HTH has collaborated with a community-based association of people living with HIV/AIDS to provide comprehensive health care services at four clinics in northern Togo. Hope Through Health believes that communities can transform the dynamics of health care delivery.  We train and support patients and community members to fill key service delivery roles as community health workers, psychosocial counselors, program coordinators, custodial and clinic support staff, and rights advocates. Their involvement ensures that our programs respond directly to patient priorities.  By empowering community members, we see a range of practical benefits including: decreased stigma, increased capacity and skills of local community members, greater patient engagement, increased information sharing, and higher staff motivation. Simply put, better community engagement leads to the delivery of better, more responsive health care services.
