Welcome to Tofphanet
Welcome to Tofphanet. If you have found yourself on our website it is probably because you're interested in what we do, how we do it, and how you can help. We appreciate you spending your valuable time here and hope that you learn something useful.
​
Tofphanet stands for 'Tororo Forum For People Living With HIV Network'. Our base is in Tororo, a remote town in Uganda, near the Kenyan border. The people of Uganda face some of the most difficult challenges in Africa, and that's without the added burden of facing life as an ostracised HIV sufferer. The primary goal of our forum is to provide support and services for as many of the poorest HIV sufferers as possible.
​
TOFPHANET aligns its work according to thematic areas;
-
Access to care, Treatment and Support services including Prevention (ACTS)
-
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) including Maternal Health
-
Advocacy for policy change on HIV issues
INTRODUCTION
The Tororo forum for people living with HIV and AIDS Networks (TOFPHANET) is a registered district advocacy network and membership based organization founded in 2005 that exists to give visibility to people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIV).
TOFPHANET believes that gender inequalities and the lack of sexual & reproductive health rights for people living with HIV are at the heart of the HIV epidemic. Our advocacy is based on evidence of our daily lived experiences and we use participatory processes to address the priorities of persons living with HIV, including young people, from grassroots.
TOFPHANET is registered with district registry under certificate of registration and incorporation with number YT/40538 in the index of registration as an umbrella organization for people living with HIV to provide systematic and all inclusive coordination structure for PLHIV networks, associations and support groups in order to play advocacy, policy and decision making roles in the HIV& AIDS partnership.
