Description: Our mission is to fight HIV/AIDS by building a movement of young leaders dedicated to global health equity and social justice. In solidarity with our partner, Partners in Health, we believe that healthcare is a human right. FACE AIDS harnesses young people's passion for social change and equips them with the skills, resources, and community to fight HIV/AIDS and promote global health equity now and throughout their lives. We also empower HIV-affected youth in impoverished communities with access to credit, savings, and business skills training, helping to limit HIV/AIDS' devastating impact on the social and economic development of communities. All of our fundraising efforts are donated to Partners in Health to provide comprehensive healthcare to AIDS patients in Rwanda, Africa.
