Addressing AIDS
Description
Funded 2003-2004
This group hopes to increase public awareness of the local and global relevance of HIV/AIDS and the urgent need to arrest the free-falling cycle of infection. They are working to provide a supportive and integrative grass-roots approach to health care education, outreach, and advocacy for at-risk populations in Edmonton, especially those who “fall through the cracks” and have little or no voice in the community. Addressing AIDS hopes to rally the political will to devote more resources to addressing the HIV/AIDS problem and to empower people to break down the barriers impeding a solution to the AIDS stigma at home and the
urgent AIDS pandemic abroad.
