		ACET International Alliance is a rapidly growing global network of independent Christian organisations and church-based agencies responding to AIDS, run and staffed almost in every case by nationals. We are united in a race against time to prevent another generation in African nations and elsewhere being devasted by AIDS, and to provide help to the sick, dying and bereaved. See graphs showing rapid spread. Member organisations provide sexual health and drugs education, home-based and in-patient AIDS care, housing support, income generation projects, orphan support, bereavement support, professional training and technical advice in communities across many nations on issues relating to HIV / AIDS. An important part of their role is to help mobilise churches of all denominations in compassionate, effective, Christian AIDS action. The first ACET programmes began in 1988 in the UK with community care and schools prevention, followed by Uganda prevention initiatives in 1991. How ACET members have helped ACET International Alliance members have: * Given practical support to more than 3,500 people with AIDS * Supported over 1,000 orphans * Educated more than a million children in school lessons about sexual health and drug abuse * Distributed 1.4 million educational resources to teenagers * Provided 60,000 free books to workers in hard-hit nations * Given access for a million free online book chapters * Educated more than 100,000 health care professionals * Provided technical support and advice to a large number of national and international agencies based in more than twenty nations, mostly in the poorest parts of the world In addition, more than a million book chapters and AIDS resources have been downloaded from our website / resource area in the last 18 months. ACET projects in many nations ACET Member organisations are found in Uganda, Burundi, Zimbabwe, Thailand, India, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Croatia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Jersey,  Barbados and Guyana with a new Nigeria partnership about to begin. Work is growing most strongly in countries with low national income and high HIV incidence. United in a common vision All those who are a part of ACET International Alliance are united in common aims as different expressions of a Christian response to AIDS, working in partnership with government and other national and international organisations including UNAIDS, UNICEF and the World Health Organisation. While most members are exclusively AIDS/ sexual health agencies, others include HIV-related issues as part of their work - all working in partnership where possible with local churches of many denominations to serve all those in their locality who need help, regardless of ethnicity, religious affiliation or any other factor. What does ACET stand for? ACET stands for AIDS Care Education and Training. As our name suggests, the principle values of the ACET International Alliance are: * Compassionate, unconditional care for all who are affected by HIV, regardless of how they come to be so, fighting stigma and discrimination and encouraging acceptance of those with HIV by their communities. * Life-saving education respecting the historic teachings of the church, encouraging long-term healthy lifestyle choices, seeking to give young people confidence to resist peer pressure, and to find their own way. * Effective training with a holistic, culturally sensitive approach to personal and community development, strongly encouraging indigenous leadership, emphasising "South to South" or "East to East" knowledge transfer- rejecting the common assumption that "West is usually Best". 100% of every gift goes to projects ACET International Alliance is run entirely on a voluntary basis, with zero central administrative costs, so all donations are directly converted into the currency needed for projects with no deductions of any kind for central office costs. Because projects very largely use national leadership and staff, and often work closely with existing church social action programmes, in-country salary costs are usually far lower than you might expect. For example, a gift of £60 / $110 plus tax relief is enough to fund a full-time schools worker in Ukraine for a month, or will support 6 vulnerable orphans in Zimbabwe for a year.
