Māori, (Indigenous & South Pacific) HIV/AIDS Foundation

 

 

 

Tēnā tātou kātoa, e mihi ana ki ō koutou tautoko, naumai, haere mai.

INA is a registered charitable trust with a mission and objective to; improve the quality of information about HIV/AIDS to our community and to improve the quality of life for people living with HIV in our community. We incorporate the GIPA principle of Greater involvement of people living with HIV, The Toronto Charter, an indigenous driven initiative that places Māori at the centre of the response to Māori and HIV/AIDS and the operational values of Kaupapa Māori (inclusive of race, age, gender, sexuality).
INA is a member of the International Indigenous Working Group on HIV/AIDS (IIWGHA), supported by the Health Canada's International Affairs Directorate (Public Health Agency of Canada) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).

We believe that 'one size fits all' is not an effective prevention and intervention for the spread of HIV/AIDS

We want to have an AIDS Free South Pacific

We want people living with HIV/AIDS to be free from stigma and discrimination

We believe we have the right to self determine our own preventative messages and care for HIV/AIDS within our communities

That we can do this in a culturally appropriate and sensitive manner that surpasses gender, sexuality and vocation.
