Summary

This study seeks to use a group-based microfinance/internal lending model to develop social capital among people with HIV in Kenya. This will create a context to deliver validated curriculum targeting intimate partner violence, positive parenting, agriculture, small business entrepreneurship, group-interpersonal therapy, and other determinants of well-being and ART adherence among people with HIV. The primary outcomes are viral suppression, ART adherence, and common mental disorders.

Detailed description

It is anticipated that involvement in an internal savings and lending program will create social capital among people with HIV and their guardians (in case of adolescents w HIV). This social capital accrual will be leveraged to support and disseminate social skills (i.e. positive parenting, conflict resolution), economic skills (i.e. entrepreneurship, farming), and health skills (i.e. ART adherence, retention in care to produce viral suppression). The overall outcome is improved social, health, and economic well-being.
