Truth Aids

Created: 07/26/11 by Natalie Zuniga Gogny

Truth Aids is an educational empowerment platform that uses media and technology to bring you stories, latest news and analysis about the social barriers to well-being that vulnerable populations face. It was born out of the experience to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS in the South Bronx.
They realize that conversations about HIV prevention had to start with love, trust, identity, abuse, and support in order to make safe sex a reality. To uncover this missing dialogue led them to create new strategies to teach about health and empowerment.

Reason:

Their mission is to empower vulnerable communities to create healthy behaviors by having candid, consistent conversations about the social barriers to well-being they face and providing the resources, knowledge, and skills to conquer them. They achieve this aim by producing multimedia content that spans TV, print, film, and the internet, establishing online networks of social support, and conducting innovative educational workshops.
