Our Vision
Become the leading provider of family-based, coordinated care resources for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS in Honduras.

Coordinated support not just to the child, but the whole family. Foster families. Family reunification.
Transportation, co-pays, psychological support. Patient advocacy. Small interventions to ensure access to HIV care and family preservation.
Clinic consultations at four rural clinics that previously had no access to HIV services.
“Charla Luz” talks to businesses, schools, churches, clinics, and hospitals all across Honduras to reduce the stigma of the disease and increase testing.
