BACKGROUND:
HIV/AIDS|ZIMBABWE
CHARITY, INC., (HAZ) is a grassroots organization founded by
Zimbabweans who share a common desire to inspire others to take on
a more aggressive role in addressing the HIV/AIDS issues affecting Zimbabwe and fellow Zimbabweans. The HAZ parent organization is officially
registered in the USA as a 501(c)(3) public charity organization (Federal EIN: 86-1163333), and in Zimbabwe as a Charitable Trust. HAZ currently has local chapters in the USA and in Zimbabwe, and others being developed in most global locations where Zimbabweans
reside. In view of the migration patterns of Zimbabweans in recent years, our organization has been designed to mitigate the brain drain of talent resulting from the exodus of professionals from Zimbabwe, by reconnecting with that same talent globally, and providing a vehicle for continued engagement from afar. We work in strategic global partnerships with key organizations that we believe can conduct or are already conducting effective, sustainable and accountable work to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on Zimbabweans.
