Our HistoryCHAIN

2004
The Need....

CHAIN was founded by a group of African professionals led by Mr. William Babumba resident in the United Kingdom in the wake of the 1998 Geneva World AIDS Conference. 

The Geneva conference theme, "Bridging the Gap between the North and South" highlighted how Africa continues to bear the brunt of the epidemic and the burden borne by communities as a result HIV and AIDS morbility and mortality. It brought into focus the recurrent theme of of the pervasive North-South divide, and the need for persons with a foothold in both worlds to form bridges of understanding, advocacy focal points and vehicles  for resource mobilization in the effort to reverse the effects of the scourge of the epidemic.

CHAIN emerged from the realization that this need had to be urgently met. CHAIN opened up the Uganda office in 2004.
