Our primary objective is to be an organization that helps provide treatment for AIDS for children under the age of 16. We plan to be an organization that encourages youth to be involved with this cause. Our goal is not only to educate children with AIDS, but also to educate others to prevent AIDS. Our longterm goal is to build a health care centre in third world countries specializing in AIDS for children. Aside from treatment and education of AIDS, we plan to help children with AIDS to live their life as a kid and not miss out on their childhood. Our secondary object is to provide oneonone support for families with children with AIDS. We also plan to expand our cause throughout the world and create awareness.

One approach CAIDSHP has taken to face the current HIV and AIDS crisis has been to travel to Third World countries to impact the lives of youth infected or affected by HIV and AIDS.

In 2006, we travelled to South Africa, affecting the overall well-being of over 350 children and youth by distributing nutritional supplements and food, providing them with the opportunity to engage actively in sporting and arts activities, providing HIV and AIDS education/prevention, and giving them the confidence and counseling necessary to gain leadership skills.

To bring attention to another severely inflicted country where help is desperately needed, in the summer of 2007, we went to Tamil Nadu, India to continue to make an impact on youth around the world through educational and supportive workshops. We believe that attention needs to be drawn to India, which has long had the most HIV and AIDS cases in Asia.

We encourage everyone, especially youth, to get involved with the HIV/AIDS awareness campaign. Youth can become a part of our organization through volunteering with us on the national scale and/or international scale.

We also have a program called YOUTHRAP (Youth Opportunities in Understanding and Transforming HIV/AIDS Research And Policy) where we create youth positions on HIV/AIDS organization's board of directors, working groups and grant review committees. This will create leadership opportunities in HIV/AIDS for youth, prepare the next generation of leaders in the struggle against HIV/AIDS and ensure youth representation in decision-making processes.
