Help us revive Pakistan's only HIV/SRHR program for migrants and returnees halted in 2025 by US govt HIV funding cuts. We conduct free of cost testing, counseling, and awareness to migrants and their families reaching 10 M people yearly. Our efforts reduce stigma, link HIV-positive individuals to treatment, research and advocate for voluntary testing and referral mechanisms at airports and borders. This project is a critical lifeline for under-served, high-risk communities.
Pakistan is facing a growing HIV crisis, with 290,000 people living with HIV-yet only 23% know their status. Migrants and returnees along with their female spouses are among the most vulnerable due to stigma, lack of access to testing, and poor awareness. With services disrupted in 2025, these mobile populations are left unprotected. This project is vital to restore testing, counseling, and education for those at highest risk but least served.
This project will restart services in high-transit zones to provide free HIV, Hepatitis, and Syphilis testing, counseling, and treatment referrals for migrants and returnees. It will also run targeted awareness campaigns in Pakistan and Gulf States in local languages, reduce stigma through community sessions, and advocate with health authorities to restore HIV referral systems at airports-ensuring long-term, systemic change for Pakistan's most vulnerable mobile populations.
The project will create long-term impact by restoring essential HIV/SRHR services for underserved migrant communities, leading to early diagnosis, reduced transmission, and timely access to treatment. It will strengthen community awareness, reduce stigma, and empower returnees to seek care. Policy advocacy will drive systemic reforms-such as airport referral mechanisms-ensuring sustained protection for mobile populations across Pakistan for years to come.
