WHO WE ARE

We, the founders of Arif-Generation, are former refugees who lived through the HIV pandemic in our countries of origin, marked by loss and poor healthcare, and faced mental health challenges in communities where support is minimal and stigma runs deep. In migrant societies, both STI and mental health issues remain taboo due to years of silence and neglect in advocacy.

Arif-Generation was born from the urgency to change this reality. We are committed to educating our communities about sexual health and mental wellbeing, breaking the stigma, and highlighting the critical lack of support for asylum seekers dealing with trauma and isolation.
