brother jeff's Community Health Initiative's mission is to reduce the disproportionate HIV and AIDS rate among African Americans and to enhance the quality of life for African Americans living with HIV and AIDS regardless of age, faith, background or sexual orientation.

Five Points HIV Prevention Grassroots Initiative (FPHPGI)

Our community commitment is extensive and is demonstrated daily through the services we pro- vide. At brother jeff's, we understand it is not enough to identify problems...we are much more interested in implementing solutions.

Here are a few of the services we provide:

• HIV Education and Training
• Client Advocacy and Referrals
• Free Condoms and Prevention Materials
• Leadership Development
• Program Development
• Community Mobilzation
• Support Groups
• Prison Re-entry

AIDS should not have to be a silent killer. More individuals should feel comfortable and open to learn about their body, discover ways to protect it, and work with others who want to extend a help- ing hand.

Project Kenya

As part of our continuing efforts in building collaborative relationships with similar organizations in combating the worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic, Brother Jeff’s Community Health Initiative (a program of Brother Jeff’s Cultural Center) will send a delegation to Kenya in September 2010, on a fact-finding mission. Team Brother Jeff will be visiting the Kenya National AIDS Council, NYUMBANI (Children of God Relief Institute), Uplifting Men and Youth project sites in Kibera and Korogocho and other AIDS service organizations.
