Programs Highlighted

Our support programs are specifically designed for a woman’s unique challenges she may encounter as an HIV mother, daughter, grandmother and caregiver. We assist them in their anonymous quest of facing financial challenges, lack of disease/medical information, limited income and limited family support. 

Our clients are typically minority, in poor health and underserved. 

Our programs allow women to connect with other women who have similar challenges while encouraging positive emotional bonding.  These are the increasingly NEW faces of HIV/AIDS.
