In 2026, we celebrate 26 years of service!

Your support is essential in PHASE 4 of our strategic plan to foster leadership for an HIV-free generation.

  • PHASE 1 provided hospice care for children living with AIDS. (2000)
  • PHASE 2 began when we were the first in Uganda to provide free ARVs for children,* transitioning to lifesaving care, and to long-term education and developmental support. (2002)
  • PHASE 3 saw the creation of the Aid Child Leadership Institute, preparing young adults  (the babies who were born with HIV–and who have now grown up!)  for independence and personal power. (2017)
  • PHASE 4 is the most revolutionary yet as we harness all our learnings to engage interns and students in the biggest dream of all: an HIV-free generation! (2024)

 

 

 

 

The current, average age of Ugandans is 16.3 years old, meaning many do not have any first-hand knowledge of AIDS, and only some of HIV. This is a crucial time for the library and the memorial — in the work of effecting social change at-scale — through education and sensitization.
