The AIDS epidemic is the single biggest crisis in human history. It has killed over 25 million people since 1981 and another 35-40 million are expected to die in the next twenty years. Fourteen million children have been orphaned in Africa alone.
Who We Are:
Power of Love Foundation is a secular United States charity focused on developing innovative, cost-effective solutions to address the AIDS epidemic. We work directly with women and children impacted by the AIDS epidemic and create long-term solutions that go beyond handouts..
What We Do:
The long term solution to the HIV/AIDS crisis is an untapped resource that has always existed within the local community: women. POL empowers women (many of whom are grandmothers caring for several orphaned grandchildren) and makes them self-reliant through a three-pronged approach: (1) Train women to care for their HIV-infected children and orphans, (2) Provide women with micro-loans and business training to generate income, and (3) Provide food, medicines, and a package of life-saving healthcare services to the children in their care.
