“WITH MORE THAN 80 MILLION PEOPLE INFECTED SO FAR WITH HIV, AIDS IS OUT OF CONTROL IN MANY OF THE POOREST NATIONS - BUT YOU CAN HELP US CHANGE THE FUTURE”

The ACET International Alliance is a rapidly growing global network of independent organisations responding to AIDS, run and staffed in almost every case by nationals. Members provide a wide range of vital services relating to HIV/AIDS, working in partnership with governments and other national and international organisations including UNAIDS, UNICEF and the World Health Organisation.

An important part of ACET's role is to help mobilise churches and other faith-based community organisations in compassionate, effective AIDS action, and to help encourage the formation of new culturally appropriate ACET linked programmes wherever local people say they are needed.

Here in the UK we are set up to provide
technical support and funding to ACET International Alliance members in the poorest nations. We are passionate about making a difference. All programmes are results based: using business disciplines to ensure high impact at low cost with clear targets and measurable outcomes.

Our aim is to reach as many as possible, as fast as we can, with life-saving prevention programmes, and practical, compassionate care.

We have reached more than a million young people with face to face prevention and supported many thousands in care programmes.

We need national programmes on a scale never seen before, encouraged by success in containing the spread of HIV, where government, media, community, churches and other faith-based organisations (FBO)s have worked together. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and many international development agencies recognise the vital role FBOs play in the fight against AIDS.

We see the impact every day of highly effective, relatively low cost programmes run by indigenous teams.

We believe that our projects are some of the most cost-effective in the world in lives saved and people cared for. Our aim is nothing less than total community mobilisation in the hardest hit nations, many of whom are the world's poorest, and are in desperate need of your help.
