Jamaica Aids Support
Founded in 1991, JAS has 30 staff and 150 volunteers in three main offices. JAS provides services for over 10,000 clients, including a "friends" network offering practical and emotional support to people living with or affected by HIV. After training, volunteers are assigned to a client/family member or care-giver. It also organises educational outreach, care programmes and promotes human rights for people living with HIV in a climate of stigma. Its "living quilt", to which artists contribute each year, includes the names of people with whom it has worked.
