Research and Integrated Community Development Center (RICDC) is a registered, tax exempt (501.c.3) not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to prevent HIV/AIDS to live a healthy and independent life.

 

Our goals are:

  • To empower Africans in the Diaspora, especially the United States, who are living with HIV/AIDS to function normally in their environments.
  • To empower Africans living on the continent living with HIV/AIDS to function normally in their environments.
  • To design and implement an HIV/AIDS outreach program in Liberia.
  • To alleviate poverty and mitigate the socio-economic impacts of HIV/AIDS among the people living with HIV/AIDS and thos affected by this deadly disease.
  • To expand access to testing, treatment and care, particularly for women, children and youth.
  • To prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
  • To support communities helping orphans and vulnerable children and youth.
  • To strengthen health care systems.

 

Our key strategies are people's participation and community ownership through voluntary action to discourage discrimination against people infected with the HIV/AIDS virus, promote behavior change, strengthen community-based health-care programs and prevent high risk behavior that encourages HIV/AIDS infection.
