OUR HIV/AIDS POLICY
ELIMINATION OF STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION
​
CONFIDENTIALITY
An employee who is, or become HIV infected has the right to confidentiality and privacy, as is the case with any employee that has experienced or is experiencing any other medical or psychosocial related incident.
HIV infected employees are not obliged to inform management, or any other person in the organization of the HIV status. There is no justification for asking job applicants, beneficiaries or donors to disclose HIV-related personal information.
​
NON-DISCRIMINATION
Kuhle Foundation does not tolerate any form of unfair discrimination against those infected with HIV and takes all reasonable steps to respect their dignity and their individual human rights. All beneficiaries, employees, donors and medical staff who know (or think they know) an individual's HIV status are made aware of the requirements and responsibilities of disclosing this information to a third party, and the consequences that could arise if this responsibility were disregarded.
Kuhle Foundation recognizes that it takes courage for individuals to disclose their HIV positive status, and that such disclose challenges the stigma associated with the epidemic. The group encourages employees to be open about hive or AIDS status if they so wish and takes all reasonable steps to ensure that such employees are not unfairly discriminated against or stigmatized and that they have access to appropriate counselling and support.
​
GENDER EQUALITY
Kuhle Foundation recognizes that women are more likely to become infected and are more often adversely affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic than men due to biological, socio-cultural and economic reasons. Kuhle Foundation strives to equalize gender relations, recognizing that the empowerment of women is vital to successfully prevent the spread of HIV infection and enable women to to cope with HIV/AIDS.
​
​
HIV COUNSELLING AND TESTING
Kuhle Foundation encourages all the employees to undergo counselling and voluntary HIV testing. We believe that counselling and testing for HIV is a critical intervention that helps to link care and support for those with HIV infection.
​
​
POLICY REVIEW: MAY 2020
This policy will be reviewed on a regular basis to ta take control of the progression of the epidemic; developments in medical care; experience in preventing new infections and managing HIV/AIDS in the workplace.

Stories

Donation of clothes
The Kuhle Foundation donated clothes to vulnerable families and to different orphanages. We usually donates clothes once after three months. The foundation believes that if you want to help your kids to become more generous and giving individuals you need to teach them while they are still young. One of the most important reasons for us to donate clothes is how many people will get help. By donating clothes we help those who cannot afford clothes, disaster victims, veterans, and even people with diseases.

Sports Program
Kuhle Foundation implemented sport games program for the youth in the community of Savanna. Our aim for this program is to help the youth in keeping fit, improving their mentality, health and making sure that we protect them from engaging in crime. As a foundation we believe that by implementing this port games program will shape their lives in a good way because the Savanna Municipality has donated us with the sport equipment making it easier for Kuhle Foundation to compete in sports with other organisations.

OUR ONLINE REPUTATION MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Search Engine Optimization
Want to make sure you're controlling the narrative around your brand online? Then you’ll want to make sure your content, and not a competitor’s, is the first thing searchers find.
A focus on search engine optimization rooted in quality content and mobile optimization will help ensure that your content takes the higher ground (and higher search results) than any negative press. Statistics say that searchers are significantly more likely to click a result in the top two or three search results - meaning that if you dominate this page, you can push down negative information until it’s essentially obsolete.
At the same time, targeting other areas for reputation management can help bolster your SEO results. For instance, accruing more positive reviews on listing sites can help your brand stand out prominently on search results that aren’t your own; at the same time, developing a presence on these review and ranking sites can help build valuable backlinks, which will in turn goose up your own SEO efforts.
Social Media
Social media is also an enormous factor in reputation management, requiring not only targeted social marketing, but an emphasis on social PR. In short? Social media is a great place to emphasize the good news and positive results that you and your brand have to offer.
A social PR strategy for reputation management might include:
-
Promoting and sharing high value feedback (like reviews and positive testimonials)
-
Leveraging reviews, testimonials, or client experiences as user-generated content
-
Sharing positive news coverage or press releases on your brand from third party sources
-
Directly engaging with clients’ complaints and thoughts on sites like Twitter and Facebook. Remember, most customers who reach out to you via social media expect a response within a matter of minutes!
-
Running a promotion, contest, or campaign to drum up positive buzz around your brand - and increase engagements and interaction
-
Offering compelling research, behind-the-scenes glimpses, stories from the office, and other content that puts a likable face to your brand
​
Engage Your Advocates With Reviews and Testimonials
In addition to relying on search engines, much of your prospective audience will first come across our organization via a review or listing service, a category which today encompasses sites ranging from Facebook, to Google, to CitySeach, to Yelp.
Research suggests that the vast majority of consumers say that they consider third party reviews important in their decision when making a decision about a nonprofit or similar organization; indeed, a full 92% of consumers research service companies online before selecting one.
The best way to put your best foot forward on these review sites and local resources is to make sure that their content works in your favor. This will involve monitoring what is said about you online, managing negative reviews as they crop up, and encouraging your clients to post positive reviews.
So, how can your local nonprofit accomplish those big picture goals? Here at Geek Chicago, we partner with a national reputation management service to offer our clients access to a review management tool with a proven track record of success.
