our community
We understand the importance and value of
communities in response to HIV.
Our approach is to work with and alongside our communities
and partners to identify how to invest in and implement
effective, innovative and sustainable programmes.

We offer more than money.

We co-create partnerships, facilitate cohesive actions, enable
access to technical assistance, capacity building and other
non-financial inputs, as well as convening spaces for learning
and strategic thinking.

Everything we do is about bringing positive

change towards the end of AIDS.
Both financially and non-financially this helps
us on our mission to be a transformational
partner that champions people and communities
to end AIDS.
