Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Young people 25 and under do not know a world without HIV, yet they continue to be disproportional affected by HIV. Studies show though, that young people, with the right education and tools, are also our greatest hope in stemming the spread of HIV.

Project Message

After experiencing my mother’s losing battle with AIDS, it motivated me to become an advocate for others who have been infected and affected by this epidemic.
