Target demographics: Our target population resides or congregates in our community, DC’s Wards 7 and 8, and consists of heterosexual Black men and women ages 18-64. These two Wards form a community which is over 90% Black , has the highest unemployment rates and the highest percentage of families living in poverty in the District . These wards also have the highest rates of new HIV infection.
Mission:
CEG''s focus is on developing programs and plans which can be replicated elsewhere. CEG has developed innovative educational programs to serve communities hardest hit by HIV/AID. CEG assists communities of color in overcoming cultural and systemic barriers to accessing critical HIV/AIDS information, and have facilitated community-directed processes aimed at building bridges to health, planning/policy, and funding processes.
Results:
Each year our outreach team tests 5,000 individuals; our CHAMPS program graduates 40 new community health workers; 50 high risk women successfully complete our SISTA program; 264 men and women participate in our on site AA/NA meetings; and our capacity building efforts reach 26 local organizations.
