Who We Are

Humanitarian Notes is a US-based non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status.  We are dedicated to producing music for HIV/AIDS awareness in Africa and also raising global awareness about the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

We are run by a team of dedicated board members and volunteers who donate their time and talent free of charge. 

What We Do

We produce HIV/AIDS awareness music that has the potential to transform lives. Life-saving HIV/AIDS messages are best channeled through local music that moves freely to even the most remote parts of Africa where it touches lives.

Why We Do It

Since the beginning of the epidemic more than 15 million Africans have died from AIDS. But illness and death are not the only effects of HIV/AIDS—families, schools, work places and economies are all suffering.

What We Believe

Humanitarian Notes was founded on the belief that a new and innovative approach to HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns is needed to combat HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Music has the power to change lives, and our music educates and empowers people at the local level, taking into account the social barriers that might have prevented external campaigns from succeeding in the past. 

An understanding of the culture and a participatory approach that utilizes local musicians in developing HIV/AIDS awareness messages allows Humanitarian Notes to disseminate information effectively.
