Voices of Hope for Children Impacted by HIV/AIDS

Welcome to the Voices of Hope HIV and AIDS Action Tank Working Group, a project of the World Forum Foundation. We warmly invite you to join us in our Global Knowledge Exchange Community!

Vision

We are advocates for a world free of HIV and AIDS, where children, families and communities join together to create hope.

Mission

We engender hope by directly linking grassroots organizations that deliver care to young children and their families who are affected by HIV and AIDS around the globe.

Goals

  1. Create a platform for early childhood grassroots organizations to become more visible through learning from one another and sharing experiences,
  2. Develop a collective voice that strengthens advocacy for young children, families and communities.

Website

Our website gives voice to the many caregivers in communities around the globe who have rolled up their sleeves to provide for and protect young children with an eye to nurturing their healthy development — cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically. As a group, we advocate for comprehensive quality care, protection and support that is evidence-informed. This site offers new paths for learning and growing that are free of geographic boundaries and respectful of cultural differences. We hope it will lend you inspiration and endurance as you continue your dedication to young children and families affected by HIV and AIDS.
