We are the largest provider of HIV/AIDS medical care in the U.S. A truly independent voice in our mission to rid the world of AIDS, AHF’s operating capital comes from our own self-created social enterprises. AHF Pharmacies, thrift stores, healthcare contracts and other strategic partnerships generate funding that helps AHF provide medical and advocacy services across the globe. Generating and defining new, innovative ways of treatment, prevention and advocacy is the hallmark of our success. We are currently leading a mass testing initiative to identify and treat the 25 million people who don’t know they are infected. By advocating big goals – aiming to see an unprecedented 1 billion people tested each year – AHF hopes to eliminate older, more time-consuming methods. Since 1987, AHF has cared for thousands of people living with HIV and AIDS worldwide. As we create and implement unparalleled programs in new communities in the U.S. and abroad, we expand delivery of healthcare and influence over policy with the sole aim of saving more lives.”"

About us (from link above): Stichting HIV Monitoring (SHM) makes an essential contribution to healthcare for HIV-positive people in the Netherlands. Working with all HIV treatment centres in the Netherlands, SHM systematically collects anonymous medical data from all registered HIV patients. SHM uses these data to produce centre-specific reports that allow HIV treatment centres to optimise their patient care and obtain formal certification. SHM’s data also form the basis for the yearly HIV monitoring report and are used in HIV-related research in the Netherlands and internationally. The outcome of SHM’s research provides tangible input into HIV care and prevention polices in the Netherlands.

Overview: “Support and counselling to illegal drug users and male sex workers; drop in; needle exchange; user room; outreach work; distribution of condoms and lubricant; HIV prevention; night shelter.”

Summary:

"From www.deregenboog.org/en/mission “Mission The Rainbow Group supports the development of vulnerable people to enable their active social participation. Activities For over 35 years The Rainbow Group has worked with the most vulnerable peoples in Amsterdam. This includes people who fall between two stools and do not receive the support they need due to their accumulated problems, such as financial debts, homelessness, addiction and mental health problems. Many of these people live in social isolation. Every day of the week, homeless people are welcome in one of our nine drop-in centres. Here they can eat warm meals, drink coffee, take a shower or get clean clothes. They can also talk to one of our social workers or take part in our Participation and Work Integration Programmes. Our 850 volunteers commit themselves to people with financial problems, socially excluded people, or people with addiction problems. In everything we do, we prioritise the self-reliance of our clients: teach a man to fish, rather than give a man a fish. The Rainbow Group is cost-effective, largely due to the immense efforts of our volunteers. This is one of the reasons that our organization has a CBF seal of approval.”"
