About The Well Project
The Well Project's mission is to change the course of the HIV/AIDS pandemic through a unique and comprehensive focus on women and girls across the gender spectrum. We envision a world in which women have the information, support, and tools they need to advocate for their health and well-being and to live a life free from stigma. Since our founding in 2002, The Well Project has become a recognized leader in the fight against HIV by revolutionizing the availability and accessibility of much-needed resources designed specifically for women living with HIV. The rapid evolution of technology and emerging ways information is accessed have dramatically increased our reach, exponentially expanding our impact both in the US and worldwide. Our programming and impact uniquely position The Well Project to ensure that women are not left behind as we embark on efforts to end the HIV epidemic.
