Women and AIDS in Africa: Hope for the Future

Women and AIDS in Africa: Hope for the Future

We are pleased to announce that the online auction to celebrate the courage of women living with AIDS in Africa and foster hope for a healthy future for themselves and their children has come to a close.

We would like to thank the HAI International Advisory Council, HAI Supporters and Friends, CharityFolks.com and all who placed bids on these auction items or supported this benefit.  These contributions help us celebrate the reality of healthy and vibrant futures of extraordinary women living with AIDS in Africa. These women, some of whom we've come to know through our work in Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and Tanzania, have taught us the importance of courage, conviction and community.  They overcame profound stigma, fear and helplessness in order to give themselves and their children help and hope for robust and productive lives.


Supporters like you help researchers and scientists at HAI to continue our global efforts to fight the AIDS epidemic through research, education and training. Thank you for your support.
