What We Do

VISION:
The Vision of the AIDS Foundation of Barbados Inc. is to be the leading NGO in Barbados representing a fully engaged workplace actively contributing to reducing the spread and impact of the AIDS epidemic.
MISSION STATEMENT :
Our Mission is to reduce the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS through facilitating implementation of workplace policies and programmes that focus on behaviour change, reducing stigma and discrimination, and creating supportive environments for persons living with HIV/AIDS.

 

OBJECTIVES

This mission shall be achieved by the conduct of the following activities:

 

  1. To educate Civil Society about HIV/AIDS prevention as well as its care, treatment and support.
  2. To facilitate access to medical, psychological, spiritual and material support services (including accommodation) for those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS.
  3. To help further research into HIV/AIDS prevention as well as its care, treatment and support, in order to objectively identify on an ongoing basis, vulnerable groups and facilitate appropriate targeted campaigns to mitigate the risk and impact against them.
  4. To raise funds and accept donations as a means of self sustainability in terms of long term support for Public Sector (in particular the National HIV/AIDS Commission) research and response initiatives to this epidemic, as well as maintaining the Foundation as an effectively operated institution. The Foundation also recognizes the urgent demand for financial resources to fund programmes by the NHAC, and the deficit in available resources from Government, as well as the International financial institution whose national assistance programme will shortly be concluded, thus exacerbating the challenge for vital financial resources.
  5. To cooperate with Government and other stakeholder Organizations and individuals having similar objectives, and where appropriate, to execute and implement Memoranda of Understanding with Government and other relevant institutions, in order to serve as a secure foundation for long term mutual cooperation.
