DREAM is a program of the Catholic Community of Sant'Egidio in Sub-Saharan Africa. The focus of DREAM is on medical care for people with HIV using antiretroviral treatment and excellent laboratory services. Other medical services related to HIV/AIDS such as mother-child health, the treatment of tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases are included, too. The program integrates HIV-positive people into the health activities as activists and expert clients. In close cooperation with the respective national health authorities, with church and state partners DREAM is setting up day clinics for people with HIV/AIDS. All services are primarily intended for poor people and are offered free of charge. DREAM is running 50 HIV treatment centers in eleven African countries (Mozambique, Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania, DR Congo, Guinea, Nigeria, Angola, Cameroon, Eswatini, Central African Republic).
