Mission

Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria — “Friends,” as we refer to it — is an advocacy organization dedicated to sustaining and expanding U.S. support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Global Fund was created in 2002 to finance programs providing treatment and care for people with AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in countries with high disease burden and low resources. Friends was then founded in 2004 to advocate on behalf of the Global Fund in the U.S. As close partners, the Global Fund and Friends work together to ensure the success of global public health programs.
