Youth Hub
What the Youth Hub does
The Youth Hub is an IAS programme dedicated to young people living with or affected by HIV. From conception to implementation, young people are at the forefront of the Youth Hub.
The Youth Hub enables young people to develop innovative ideas and effective approaches to address the challenges that young people living with and affected by HIV face. By offering capacity-building opportunities, access to financial resources and networking platforms, the Youth Hub fosters a community of engaged, well-equipped young leaders who are driving lasting change in the HIV response.
The Youth Hub in context
Young people (aged 15-24) account for a growing share of people living with HIV, according to UNAIDS. Studies show that young people face barriers in accessing HIV testing and treatment services. This could be due to lack of awareness, stigma or inadequate healthcare infrastructure tailored to their needs. Yet prevention efforts often underserve young people.
It's like a ray of sunshine in a dark room. If I were to characterize the impact, it was like turning a switch. On a scale of 1 to 10 for how much impact the [Youth Hub Seed Grant] programme has had for me, I'll give it a 5,000,000.
