About FACE AIDS
FACE AIDS is a dynamic non-profit organization working to build a global movement of young leaders to fight HIV/AIDS and promote global health equity . We harness young people\'s passion for social change and equip them with the skills, resources, and peer community necessary to change the course of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and global health inequities. Alumni, armed with the experience and conviction that come from participation in FACE AIDS, go on to play critical leadership roles across sectors worldwide to promote health equity .

Since its founding in 2005, FACE AIDS has:
- Established chapters at over 200 college and high school campuses across the United States, engaging thousands of students annually; - Served over 1,200 Rwandan youth through leadership skills training, psycho-social support, health education , and socio-economic empowerment; - Employed and financially empowered over 200 HIV-affected Zambians and Rwandans through our asset-building savings, credit, and business training program; - Raised more than $2.5 million for Partners In Health to provide high-quality, integrated health care to the rural poor in Rwanda; Been recognized for our achievements by President Bill Clinton, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, and Dr. Paul Farmer, among others. Dr. Farmer has said, \"FACE AIDS has distinguished itself through its commitment, integrity, innovation, and effectiveness in service of our patients. I give my highest recommendation to FACE AIDS.\"

FACE AIDS\' current programs are in the United States and Rwanda. In Rwanda, FACE AIDS has established 33 chapters involving more than 1,200 vulnerable youth in Eastern Province. We work closely with these youth to design and implement sustainable community-based health interventions, and to address their socio-economic challenges by providing them with small business grants. Through this model of leadership development and socio-economic empowerment, we enable young people who have been most affected by the dual pandemics of poverty and disease to become the leaders in combating them.

Building on the success of this model, FACE AIDS is currently developing a strategy to bring our programs to university students in order to leverage the impact of youth-driven health initiatives in Rwanda.
