About Us
Empowering marginalized youth to live with dignity, resilience, and purpose
Positive YUVA Network Association
Positive YUVA Network Association is a youth-led organization supporting marginalized young people, especially those living with HIV, orphaned youth, care-leavers, and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Founded in 2023, the organization was created by young people who personally experienced stigma, abandonment, and systemic neglect. Today, PYN stands as a family ensuring that no young person faces adulthood alone.
