About Positive Impact and Wellness Initiative (PIWI)

Our Mission

Positive Impact and Wellness Initiative (PIWI) exists to support, empower, and advocate for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). We combine compassionate peer support, practical skills and health education, fearless anti-discrimination advocacy, specialised care for women to prevent mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), and strong partnerships with government agencies and civil society.

Our Vision

A compassionate, inclusive, and stigma-free society where every person living with HIV/AIDS enjoys full human dignity, quality healthcare, and economic independence—and where no child is born with HIV.
