Intimate Fashions is a manufacturer of foundation garments for ladies. It is a joint venture of Triumph International, Germany, MAST Industries, USA and MAS Holdings, Sri Lanka. 95 % of Intimate Fashions employees are women. Established in 1998, soon the organisation started awareness programme in its premises on personal hygiene and sanitation. Slowly and steadily the awareness on HIV/AIDS was infused into the knowledge of Intimate family. With the help of a local NGO - WE CARE, a group of women employees is addressed every Saturday for one hour on HIV/ AIDS. The programme also includes session on personal counselling

Contract workers belonging to the house keeping department, drivers and security staff are also covered under this awareness programme. A group of peer educators has been nominated and trained accordingly.

The medical team with the help of HR department takes an active role in the whole process. Started as a small initiative, the programme has now bloomed to a greater extent.
