What we do

Strategies for Hope produces and distributes books and videos that document successful, innovative strategies of HIV/AIDS work by NGOs and community groups.

So far the Series has produced 20 books and 5 documentary videos. For the latest video What Can I Do? we have prepared a Facilitator’s Guide. We have also produced an award-winning training package, Stepping Stones, which includes a manual and a workshop video.

SFH stand in the Community Village during the 2005 International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa.

The materials are used for information, training, planning and advocacy purposes by a wide range of organisations and individuals, including health institutions, NGOs, community groups, international agencies, religious organisations, employers' associations, trade unions, women's organisations, youth associations and organisations of people with HIV/AIDS.

These materials have been distributed to over 160 countries, with most copies being supplied free of charge to organisations in sub-Saharan Africa. By August 2007, the Series had distributed approximately 930,000 copies of its books, over 30,000 copies of its videos, and nearly 20,000 copies of the Stepping Stones training package.

A unique feature of the Strategies for Hope Series is its mailing list of over 16,000 addresses of organisations and individuals involved in HIV/AIDS-related work, including 9,000 addresses in Africa. This helps the Series to target particular groups in need of information and training materials for HIV/AIDS-related work. In addition, by enabling SFH to maintain direct contact with the users of SFH books and videos, the database plays a key role in the process of monitoring and evaluating the use and impact of SFH materials.
