Infectious Disease
Preventing the spread and promoting the early detection and proper treatment of infectious diseases is a top priority for Project HOPE.
We began addressing tuberculosis (TB) disease in Kazakhstan in 1993, piloting the use of the Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course (DOTS) strategy for TB control. With the support of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for nine years, Project HOPE has implemented the largest and most comprehensive regional TB control programs in the Central Asian Republics. In 2006, we expanded our TB programs into Africa, with programs to address TB and TB/HIV in Malawi and Namibia.
In 1996, we began incorporating HIV prevention education into our reproductive health programs in Malawi, and have provided HIV prevention education to school children in Russia and Ukraine since 2005. Currently, we provide care and support to Orphans and Vulnerable children in Africa and continue to expand HIV prevention efforts around the globe.

Chronic Disease
Diabetes is an emerging global epidemic, with 80% of people with diabetes living in low and middle income countries. Project HOPE began addressing diabetes in 1998, with the launch of the Diabetes Education Program in China. Diabetes programs followed in Mexico, India and New Mexico, reaching countries with large numbers of people impacted by the disease. The programs focus on skills building among health care providers at all levels, developing innovative community-based responses and linking rural facilities to larger hospitals and networks to increase access to specialized care.
