Help Those Living With HIV/Aids

HIV/AIDS is a debilitating disease that affects millions of people around the world, particularly those living in poverty. In fact, sub-Saharan Africa alone accounts for the majority of the world’s new infections. HIV/AIDS continues to kill farmers, teachers and health workers, and negatively affects food production, life expectancies and infant mortality rates.

However, new trends show that HIV/AIDS, malaria and other potentially fatal conditions are preventable. When provided with accurate information, and freed from the social taboos, attitudes and behaviors that fuel these diseases, people have proven that they can protect themselves and their families. Steady increases in HIV treatment and prevention efforts have greatly reduced the number of new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths around the world, especially among children.

We equip local volunteer leaders with information, training and materials to go out and educate their communities. In partnership with governments and other civil society organizations, we provide access to health care services, immunizations, antiretroviral treatments and more.
