Where there is life, there is hope. In a country where HIV/AIDS is a fast-growing disease that left 1.8 million orphans in 2003 and 5.4% of its adult population vulnerable to the virus, Gede Foundation is aware that if nothing is done to prevent, treat, and care for the people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, hope will not be enough to sustain life.
Gede Foundation is a 501c (3) non-profit, non-governmental organization that works for the benefit of the people of Africa to restore to them the right to a sense of self worth, and a life of hope, health and happiness through programs that educate, promote healthy communities and help eliminate the stigma of illness.
Thank you for visiting our website. Through this medium we hope to be able to share WHAT the foundation is all about, WHY and WHERE we exist, HOW we carry out our mission and WHO we are.
