ACRT Mission:
To support, educate, and empower those who are effected by, or are caring for a person with HIV/AIDS.

About ACRT :
ACRT is a non-profit organization that provides direct service to people living with HIV/AIDS primarily in the developing world. Working at a community level, we tailor our programs to address real life issues facing people who have or are at high risk of contracting the disease and address the devastating consequences to the individual, family and communities in which they live. Liaising with other agencies and health care providers, we strive to provide access to essential medicines, education, services and support as well as financial assistance and/or resources as are needed.

In addition, our team members offer a variety of skills to initiate recovery, from crisis intervention and short-term care to information clinics, orphan care, and self-sustaining work and training opportunities.

ACRT was conceived in 2000 through the work of Lizzy Walker. While travelling in Nigeria , she began working with local goups and individuals, returning yearly with medical supplies, nutritional supplements and donations to help people suffering from HIV/AIDS and other poverty related diseases.

Being acutely aware of the limited resources, time and energy that she alone could offer and faced with the staggering number of people in need, the ACRT team was created and achieved charitable status in 2008. Team members travel to high infection rate areas to provide programs in their various areas of expertise such as medical, educational, psychological and emotional counseling.

They, along with Lizzy, continue to share her experience and vision: working within communities, advocating for and supporting people living with HIV/AIDS or those who have been negatively impacted by it and provide direct intervention and recovery assistance.
