AIDS Walk

The AIDS Walk 2026 has successfully completed, but our journey continues! Together, we showed resilience and unity — with participants walking in their own communities, on hiking trails, and even with pets in the park. Last year’s walk raised vital funds that supported home visits by our HIV care nurses, physiotherapy services, therapy groups, and free HIV and Syphilis testing services. We are excited to announce that AIDS Walk 2027 is officially on the way! Stay tuned for updates, and your support can break down barriers, reduce stigma, and create a healthier, more compassionate community. Together, we make a difference.
