Fund
Every action counts.
Your ideas will be the change and can form part of the journey to end AIDS by 2030. The time is now; join us as #GenEndIt and take action.
What is the fund?
Introducing the GenEndIt Youth Mobilisation Fund to support specific campaigning activities led by HIV and AIDS focussed youth organisations, networks and movements.
Small flexible grants of between 200 GBP and 1000 GBP will be made available to young people to lead specific campaigning activities in their communities. Funded activity objectives can include strengthening and inspiring collective action, urging governments to take action and prioritise HIV in their international cooperation, particularly with support for youth-led HIV responses.
The fund is developed by the GenEndIt Steering Group and supported by Restless Development; young people created the HIV Youth Mobilisation Funds to advocate and make AIDS history.
