Organizations Filed Purposes: The FaceAIDS model of engaging students and young people to build a movement combines tangible results now for people suffering from AIDS and promise for future leaders who will tackle this issue.

Our mission is to fight HIV/AIDS by building a movement of young leaders dedicated to global health equity and social justice.

We are fighting the global HIV/AIDS pandemic by building a movement of young leaders dedicated to health equity and social justice, and by providing socio-economic support to HIV-affected individuals living in impoverished communities.From 2007 to 2013, FACE AIDS worked in poor, rural communities in Rwandas Eastern Province, focusing on HIV-affected youth. These individuals used their income from making the beaded AIDS pins to establish sustainable local businesses. FACE AIDS operations also included community sensitizations, a voluntary counseling and testing center, and an HIV education through sports program.

In 2007, Partners In Health, one of the world's premier social justice and health care organizations, invited FACE AIDS to expand our operations beyond Zambia and join them at their new site in Rwanda. FACE AIDS now works in poor, rural communities in Rwanda's Eastern Province, focusing on HIV-affected youth. Our programs address the factors that make young people vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and poor health outcomes more broadly. Specifically, we provide youth with a social support network, empower them through income-generating activities and youth-led savings and credit cooperatives, and encourage them to become leaders in the health and development of their communities.In the U.S., FACE AIDS has established chapters at over 205 colleges and high

schools. Each year, thousands of students design and lead campaigns, events, and other initiatives to promote education and awareness of HIV/AIDS and raise funds to combat the pandemic. To date, they have raised $2 million for Partners In Health to provide comprehensive health care to HIV-affected communities in Rwanda. Students involved in FACE AIDS become powerful leaders and change makers, going on to win Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships, earning admission to medical, law, and business schools, and working in government, non-profit, and the private sector on the front lines of global health and social justice.
