Project India

Support us fight against AIDS

About Us

AIA kicked off “Project India” officially on April 25, 2004.  Since then we have hosted several events in order to raise a total of $150,000 in donations that have been directed to the cause.  That was also the beginning of partnership between AIA, GAP, and The Brooklyn Hospital Center.

Since 2005 teams of doctors have regularly gone to work in India.  We have done 6 doctors visit to date and are planning on another one next year.

We have touched lives of 600 patients

 

Our Goal is

·   To address the HIV/AIDS crisis in India and bring about social and economic change by connecting donors with effective and experienced organizations in the field.

 

·   To magnify the impact of the gift of donors by providing them leverage.

 

·   To raise $40,000 annually to continue the support required for the current patients getting treatment.
