AIDS is one of the largest and most complex threats to human health the world has ever known. Great stigma compounds already tragic physical consequences. And in the developing world, poverty itself is both a cause and an effect of a pandemic that is devastating the physical, social and economic health of entire regions.

People around the world continue to suffer and die from this disease, which often robs them of family, social networks and ways to make a living. Young women bear the greatest risk of infection and burden of caring for the ill. But many people have found ways to live with dignity despite their HIV-status. Moved by compassion, that FightAIDS Ghana has been formed to embark on a massive outreach campaign to help minimized the impact the AIDS pandemics is causing especially to the rural areas of Ghana and the world beyond
