Album: Family Preservation

The Family Preservation Initiative (FPI) provides training in income security and occupational skills to help HIV positive patients and their families get back on their feet.

The goal of the Family Preservation Initiative is to give assistance without encouraging dependency through offering micro-loans and skills training. The skills training piece of FPI is called the Imani Workshops. Often, FPI gives funds for micro-financing for new small businesses and farming, initially loaning up to $75 per patient to help initiate these small ventures.
