OUR MISSION

'empowering those we serve to move beyond the lines of poverty'

OUR WORK

RIVER FUND, in response to the devastation of those living with HIV/AIDS, was conceived over 30 years ago.

 

Today RIVER FUND stands as a front-line poverty center in our response to the devastation of those living on the lines of POVERTY.

THREE PILLARS OF ENGAGEMENT
