Nominations are open for the annual Marilyn Kuczynski Faith & Strength Award
National Faith HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NFHAAD) was founded by Khadijah Abdullah in 2016. She is also the founder of RAHMA (Reaching All HIV+ Muslims in America), an Islamic organization in Arabic (the name means Mercy). In 2016, advocates from 10 cities convened in Washington DC to design and discuss the reason for NFHAAD: to bring all faiths together each year in the fight against HIV until there is a cure.

“Faith plays a major role in the lives of many Americans. Many find faith to be a connection to a spiritual being, deity or creator. Unfortunately for many Americans living with HIV, faith communities can turn from a place of refuge to a source of stigma and turmoil.” ~Khadijah Abdullah
