Dear Colleagues,
The Strategies for Hope Trust is pleased to announce that, thanks to a grant from a donor organisation, we are able to offer one free copy each of the 'Stepping Stones' training manual (in English, French or Portuguese) and the workshop video (in English or French) to organisations based in sub-Saharan Africa that cannot afford to purchase them but need them for their work with communities.
To request free copies, please write to introduce your organisation, explaining in full your aims and objectives, describing the activities you carry out and specifying which sections of the community you work with. Please inform us also which information and training materials on HIV and gender issues you currently use. Let us know your full postal address, and please specify also whether you are requesting a printed version of the manual, or a copy on CD. Due to financial constraints, we cannot provide both you with both a hard and a soft copy.
This offer of free copies applies only until our funds for this purpose have been spent. It does not apply to Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, and the whole of Latin America, where 'Stepping Stones' is distributed by local partner organisations.
After you have used 'Stepping Stones' and sent us feedback, we can provide you with a copy of 'Stepping Stones PLUS', which consists of new exercises and sessions designed to promote a whole community approach to the HIV epidemic.
Organisations such as international NGOs, UN agencies and large local NGOs that wish to use either 'Stepping Stones' or 'Stepping Stones PLUS' should please purchase copies from our distributor, TALC, either by email (info@talcuk.org) or online (www.talcuk.org). Please note that income received from the sale of Strategies for Hope materials is used to help cover the cost of reprints and additional free distribution to organisations in sub-Saharan Africa that cannot afford to purchase them.
