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. In response, we believe that every possible solution must be tested. Power of Love Foundation is a secular United States charity focused on developing innovative, cost-effective solutions to address the AIDS epidemic. As the solutions we implement prove successful, Power of Love shares them with existing grassroots organizations and communities that are interested in starting new programs for themselves.

 Our Solution:

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 children) 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.
