About CHAI
President Clinton has made finding solutions to global problems a major focus of his more than thirty years in public service. After leaving office, he knew he wanted to continue to address the inequalities in access to health care in the developing world. In particular, he was struck by the disparity in access to readily-available anti-retroviral treatment (ART) between high-income countries and developing countries.
President Clinton launched the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI) to expand access to life-saving medicines and help developing countries systematize their approach to HIV/AIDS treatment.
Through your generous donations, the Clinton Foundation can help turn the tide of the AIDS pandemic and bring quality healthcare to people in need around the world.
Mission and Objectives
CHAI’s mission is to work with governments and other partners to increase the availability of high-quality AIDS care and treatment for people in need. We accomplish this by:
lowering the cost of treatment
providing strategic and targeted technical assistance where it is most needed
establishing major initiatives to enable widespread access to HIV-related care.
We take a business-based and strategic approach to tackling the most significant barriers to HIV/AIDS care and treatment, and hire capable, dedicated and passionate people whose primary motivation is fulfilling our mission.
CHAI’s Operating Principles
As CHAI continues to grow and expand around the globe, our operating principles remain at the core of all of our work, ensuring we maintain our identity and intensity in everything we do.
We understand that every day we delay, people die and every day we move faster, we save lives. Therefore, we strive to rapidly accelerate care and treatment in the short-term, while establishing self-sustaining and scalable models for the future. We are flexible and work with minimal bureaucracy, and spend our resources wisely.
We serve people living with HIV/AIDS, with a particular focus on reaching underserved and marginalized populations. We reach patients by partnering with and serving governments to strengthen public health infrastructure. We tackle the biggest challenges and forge paths for others to follow.
We are guests in the countries we operate in. We work in a respectful way with national governments and our local colleagues. Similarly, we work collaboratively— not competitively— with other organizations, but do not let the pace of others slow us down.
We work with humility and quiet intensity.
