We urgently need your support to sustain the Rakai Health Sciences Program—an essential leader in HIV prevention, treatment, and research in Uganda—and to provide two CUNY SPH doctoral students with a transformative global public health field experience. Your support will fund transportation, lodging, and meals for the students, along with an operating grant to strengthen Rakai’s critical work.

This initiative expands Rakai’s capacity to deliver lifesaving care while offering students hands-on training under the supervision and mentorship of CUNY SPH Professor Dr. Phil Kreniske.

Without Rakai, thousands would lose care, and decades of scientific progress would be at risk. In this moment of crisis, your support is a lifeline—preserving innovation, shaping policy, and preparing the next generation of public health leaders. As government funding declines, your gift is more vital than ever.
