Overview

The goal is to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS and to reduce the incidence of AIDS-related deaths.

The mission is to create opportunity for healthier futures for children living amidst the scourge of HIV/AIDS.

The TRIAD Trust is a consortium of exceptional athletes, coaches, artists, musicians, journalists, filmmakers, physicians, educators, policy-makers and health care advocates dedicated to increasing HIV/AIDS awareness and encouraging prevention. We train local leaders to run sustainable sports, arts and media programs for orphans and vulnerable children in areas affected by HIV/AIDS. These programs are built around a core curriculum of HIV and life skills education. They engage children and young adults in activities in which learning about healthy decisions is dynamic, creative, and exciting.

TRIAD has built a dependable team of expert volunteers in the following fields. 

1. Medicine, Health Care, and Education
2. Sports (Soccer and Basketball)
3. Arts (Performing Arts and Music)
4. Media (Photography, Documentary and Journalism)

TRIAD’s expert volunteers visit and assess the specific needs of a community with exceptional respect for maintaining its cultural integrity. 

While there, the volunteers: 

• - Identify leaders within the community;
• - Train these community leaders to help create sustained and sustainable HIV education programs and local resources;
• - Inspire the orphans and vulnerable children in the community to lead positive lifestyles via these community leaders;
• - Provide ongoing mentorship to local leaders after TRIAD leaves the community;
• - Raise sustainable financial support and material assistance for the ongoing work in each of TRIAD’s partner communities;
• - Train local stakeholders to raise their own network of supporters and create income-generating activities.
