The Strategies for Hope Trust (SFHT) is a charity based in the UK which works in collaboration with many organisations in Africa, Asia, North America and the Caribbean. The SFHT began in 1989 with the aim of promoting positive thinking and practical action in the field of HIV/AIDS care, support and prevention, particularly in Sub-Saharazn Africa. It produces manuals, books and films about ways in which communities can address the challenges of the global HIV epidemic. In the past this was a project of ActionAid, and of Teaching-Aids at Low Cost. Since July 2003, however, the project has been managed by the Strategies for Hope Trust, a not-for-profit organisation.
