Preserve.
Remember.
The Museum of AIDS in Africa aims to transform the individual and social response to the African AIDS epidemic by honouring those who have lost their lives, empowering those infected and affected, and building knowledge about the history, science and response to the pandemic, to support the ultimate goal of an Africa free from AIDS.
Why.
AIDS in Africa continues to be the worst humanitarian catastrophe since the thirteenth century. It is also one of the world’s most remarkable examples of community and country mobilization and action; individual and family resilience; medical, scientific and epidemiological advancements; and international cooperation. It is more than a disease: it is millions of individual stories that deserve to be preserved, remembered, learned from and talked about.
The Museum of AIDS in Africa is not a passive repository but an active centre – a place where people can come together, to be moved, empowered, comforted and inspired.
