Mission Statement

Our mission is to support community action to prevent HIV infection, meet the challenges of AIDS, and build healthier communities.

About This Cause

Founded in 1999, Alliance India is a non-governmental organisation operating in partnership with civil society, the government of India and communities to support sustained responses to HIV in India and build healthier communities. Our organisations interventions reach across more than 32 states and territories in India touching more than a million people annually. We work with close co-ordination with the government at both national and state levels. We also are working with many UN based organisations and other national and international agencies like Global Fund on the cause of HIV. We are currently implementing the Care and Support component of National Aids Control Programme IV, in collaboration with National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Complementing the Indian national programme, we build capacity, provide technical support and advocate for strengthening the delivery of effective, innovative, community-based HIV programmes to vulnerable populations affected by the epidemic. Leveraging our implementation experience, we work closely with the Alliance Regional Technical Support Hub for South Asia to support capacity of civil society organisations, government and the private sector in South Asia to respond more effectively to HIV/AIDS. An independent National NGO managed and governed wholly in India, Alliance India is also an accredited member of the global network of Linking Organisations of the International HIV/AIDS Alliance. India HIV/AIDS Alliance is a Section 8 Company with FCRA registration 231660645. India is home to the world 3rd largest population suffering from HIV/AIDS with approximately over 2 million people suffering from this disease. Over the last decade a lot has been done by the government, NGO’s and many agencies due to which the disease has been controlled to some extent. However in the current years International funds for India's National AIDS Control Programme have dried up severely, posing a serious threat of recurrence of new HIV cases. Estimates show a reduction of almost 90% in funding from various multilateral, bilateral and philanthropic donor organisations over the last three years, sources in the government as well as civil society said. A significant decline in funding threatens to reverse the modest gains already achieved. There are still about 24 lakh people with HIV in India, 6 out of 10 people living with HIV are still not receiving treatment hence it is important to raise the awareness and also involve the mass in India in this movement to End Aids in India. Keeping this objective in mind we are hosting the End Aids India campaign to reach Indians across the globe to raise awareness on the disease and most importantly sought funds to combat HIV/AIDS. It aims for an India with zero new IV infections, zero AIDS related deaths, zero stigma and discrimination for people affected with HIV.
