Lhak-Sam (BNP+) is the first and only network of HIV positive people formed in 2010, to address the needs of PLHIV for mutual support, solidarity, and social networking in Bhutan. Lhak-sam provides leadership, education and capacity building with a dream to create an environment free from stigma and discrimination and a society wherein all PLHIV and affected family members have opportunities for meaningful livelihood.
Lhak-Sam's purpose is to create and promote a strong support system based on solidarity, social networking and people’s participation for addressing and taking collective action towards effective response to HIV/AIDS and its impact.
As the year 2015 Wood Female Sheep Year begins, it’s time we look back, reflect and acknowledge the small contribution and achievements that we have made, and the challenges that we have faced in responding to AIDS in Bhutan. This 2015, we celebrate 4 years of our working in solidarity with our HIV positive members and in partnership with government, and relevant stakeholders.
