Advocates for HIV/AIDS Prevention and Reduction (AHPR) is a non-governmental, youth-led organization founded in July 2023. Our primary focus is to prevent and reduce new HIV infections in Zambia among Adolescents and Young People (AYP), particularly Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW), through awareness, sensitization, and policy influencing on HIV/AIDS.
Recently, we signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Zambia to implement HIV advocacy and sexual reproductive health programs among AYP. AHPR is rooted in being a platform where young people drive the agenda in the fight against HIV/AIDS. We are expanding our reach across Zambia by establishing office branches nationwide. These branches are designed to deliver accessible, adolescent-friendly HIV prevention and awareness programs, ensuring widespread impact and support.
Our Focus Areas
HIV/AIDS Advocacy among AYP
Community-based Public Health and Health Promotion
