Face AIDS

Face AIDS is dedicated to building a global movement of young leaders to fight HIV/AIDS.  Face AIDS harnesses young people’s passion for social change and empowers them with the skills, resources, and peer community needed to take action now and throughout their lives.  The organization currently has operations in the United States and Rwanda.  In Rwanda, there are 35 chapters involving about 1,200 members across Rwanda’s Eastern Province.  Each chapter is asked to submit a proposal in the area of malnutrition, drug use, sexual health, or maternal health, as they relate to fighting HIV/AIDS.  With the $10,000 grant from AllPeopleBeHappy, 6 chapters with the highest potential proposals received funds to implement their plans.  Throughout this process chapter members are engaged in business training and a structured savings program, receiving and investing their stipends.  This training extends well beyond the 6 month duration of their projects.  (www.FaceAIDS.org)
