The Well Project: Women-Centered & Purpose-Driven!

For more than two decades, The Well Project has been a leader addressing the needs of women living with and vulnerable to HIV across the gender spectrum, who, more than 40 years into the epidemic, remain consistently underrepresented and underfunded in the HIV response. Evidence demonstrates that The Well Project’s resources deliver essential, measurable services to women that improve their engagement in care, health outcomes, and quality of life, among other indicators.

Today, more than ever, women need your support! Can you make a monthly recurring tax-deductible donation to ensure The Well Project’s outcomes-oriented work continues to impact women living with and vulnerable to HIV? Your donations are vital to our efforts. Can’t commit to a monthly donation? We are grateful for gifts of all sizes – every donation is meaningful!
