We are a not for profit organization. We believe AIDS in Africa is a PREVENTABLE disease.
The mission of HELP NOW Inc,
As our name says, our mission is to Help Everyone Learn Prevention (H.E.L.P). We believe that AIDS education is key in prevention and how we treat those who are infected with this disease.
Our vision is to work with grassroots groups in Africa, who are working to educate Africans on the values of AIDS prevention. We are not here to reinvent the wheel, there are dedicated groups in Africa fighting this epidemic at the grass root level and our goal is to work with them.
PREVENTION is better than cure; this is so true when it comes to STD's
AFRICA needs our help.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, the region of the world that has been worst affected by the global AIDS epidemic, HIV and AIDS have caused vast amounts of human suffering. Nearly two-thirds of all HIV positive people live in this area, although it contains little more than 10% of the world’s population. The most obvious effect of this crisis has been illness and death, but the impact of the epidemic has certainly not been confined to the health sector; households, education, workplaces and economies have been significantly affected, along with other sections of society.
During 2005 alone, an estimated 2 million adults and children died as a result of AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since the beginning of the epidemic more than 15 million Africans have died from AIDS.
Now, think about prevention, if grassroot organizations can reach the villages and the remote sections of Africa, as well as the main regions, WE can help STOP the destruction of this PREVENTABLE disease.
