Face aids email format

FACE AIDS (2005-2014) was a student-led non-profit who mobilized students in the fight to end AIDS. FACE AIDS staff supported high school and college campuses across the country with personalized training, as they raised funds to support the life-saving work of Partners In Health in HIV-affected communities in Rwanda. FACE AIDS chapters ensured that conversations about HIV/AIDS stayed active among their peers, and mobilized the next generation of leaders in social impact. In 2014, FACE AIDS was invited to become a part of Partners In Health (PIH) as the new student branch of their community organizing program, PIH | Engage. In August of 2014, FACE AIDS fully integrated their programs with PIH and closed operations. Accomplishments By the time FACE AIDS closed operations in August of 2014, FACE AIDS established chapters at over 200 colleges and high schools across the United States and raised over $3 million for Partners In Health. FACE AIDS sponsored 7 years of the Ride Against AIDS, a cross-country bike ride which aimed to (re)ignite conversations about HIV/AIDS. Together, the RAA teams raised over $300,000. FACE AIDS also worked in Rwanda until 2012, establishing chapters at 13 health centers in eastern Rwanda. FACE AIDS directly employed over 350 HIV-affected Rwandans and supported their socio-economic empowerment through structured savings and business training programs.
