 People supported by our Foundation often repeat: “We are less depressed by disease then by dependence on others help”. In January 2008 Elena Franchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation in a partnership with Ukrsotsbank has finished pilot project. Due to this project HIV-positive children and their foster families will be more independent from charities. For the first time in Ukraine bank technologies are used to help HIV-positive people.
