Current Projects

Together We Can is a five-year program that aims to provide HIV prevention messages and education to more than 750,000 youth in three countries—Guyana, Haiti, and Tanzania.

The goal of the program is to educate youth to strengthen life skills, improve decision-making and encourage safer behavior. The program targets young people between the ages of 10-24 years with a special emphasis on hard-to-reach and vulnerable groups like out-of-school youth and girls.

Emergency Assistance to Congolese and Burundian Refugees
This project will meet the basic needs of refugees and host populations in the refugee-affected area and improve the health status of residents in six refugee camps. Specifically, the project will provide maternal and child health, reproductive health, immunization and emergency medical services, as well as safe and adequate potable water and hygienic latrines for the camp inhabitants and neighboring communities. The project’s goal is to improve the health status of 252, 237 vulnerable refugees from Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo until they are able to return to their own countries, as well as to assist 8,000 of the host population in the camps’ vicinity.
