Mission Statement

The Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention is a community-based, non-profit, charitable organization committed to providing health promotion, support, education and advocacy in a non-discriminatory manner for those identified as South Asian living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

Description

ASAAP is a Toronto based AIDS service organization. It was founded in 1989 as a community response to a request for support for a South Asian couple infected with HIV/AIDS who died in isolation, unable to access services in their own language. Our catchment area is greater Toronto and all the surrounding suburbs/towns. Our services include preventative education, support to South Asians infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS, outreach, and advocacy. Services are available in Tamil, Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, Punjabi, Gujarati, and Bengali. You may need to call ahead to arrange assistance in South Asian languages.

ASAAP is a non profit charitable organization. The governing body is a 11 Member Board of Directors elected by members of ASAAP at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the agency's By-laws. ASAAP has 7 staff members, and we are supported by volunteers in various aspects of our work.
