PIIFF
Healthcare Initiative
In response to the global efforts
against the spread of HIV/AIDS, and the deplorable public health
infrastructures in many parts of Africa and poor minority communities around
the world, the Foundation has undertaken a comprehensive and integrated
development initiative aimed at preventing the further spread of the
HIV/AIDS pandemic by joining a national and international coalition of
organizations who can address the many social layers that lead to the
indiscriminate spread of HIV/AIDS in the Diaspora communities.
The Wholistic Development Project
encompasses the training and skill development of health personnel and
volunteers and the rehabilitation of existing health facilities for the
testing, treatment and care of potential carriers; strengthening the
capacities and forging greater collaboration with faith-based organizations
(FBOs), grassroots organizations (GROs), government agencies, and
non-governmental organizations (NGOs); facilitate the implementation of
anti-AIDS campaigns via educational and awareness activities, (sports,
theatrical and cultural); invigorate the public through new media and
facilitate employable skills training, vocational and literacy work; and
undertake sustainable development initiatives in conformance with the vision
and philosophies of the Foundation. The Foundation has selected Liberia as
the first country to implement this wholistic initiative.
