This is such an important reminder of what collective investment can achieve. In Nigeria and Senegal, EJAF support has enabled us (Population Council) to test and implement community-based HIV prevention models — including pharmacy-based delivery and peer-led approaches — that are reaching people who often don’t access traditional services. We have reached over 11,000 people at high risk with HIV prevention services in the past year alone in these hostile environments. Continued investment in community-driven peer-led models is critical to closing that gap.

$10.6 million raised to help end AIDS 🚀 Last night proved something powerful. In a world increasingly tempted to look away, this room chose not to. At a moment when funding is being pulled, attention is drifting, and the stakes couldn’t be higher, people showed up. That’s why nights like #EJAFOscars matter. Proof that when compassion is fierce enough, it cannot be dimmed 🧡 https://lnkd.in/ehwfWVGr
