Naz Project London (NPL) provides sexual health and HIV prevention and support services to targetted Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities in London.
NPL aims to educate and empower communities to face up to the challenges of sexual health and the AIDS pandemic, and to mobilise the support networks that exist for people living with HIV/AIDS. |
NPL is the oldest and most broadly based BME charity in London addressing the sexual health and HIV/AIDS needs of its communities. Currently, it provides sexual health and HIV/AIDS prevention and support services to South Asians (including Bangladeshis, Indians, and Pakistanis), Muslims (including Middle Easterners and Africans), Horn of Africans (Eritreans, Ethiopians, and Somalis), Portuguese speakers (including Angolans, Brazilians, Mozambicans, and Portuguese), and Spanish speakers (mainly Latin American).
NPL exists to challenge myths and prejudices that exist about and within BME communities and to ensure that these communities have access to care, support, and culturally and linguistically appropriate information.
We aim to educate and empower our communities to face up to the challenges of sexual health and the AIDS pandemic, and to mobilise the support networks that exist for people living with HIV/AIDS.
NPL is committed to service users playing an important role at all levels within the organisation. |
Advice, information and support can be obtained face-to-face, over the phone or via email.
