About Us

AIDS Care Managers (ACM) is a non-governmental Organization (NGO) situated at No 5 Clement Isong Street, Federal Housing Estate, Abak Road, Uyo in Akwa Ibom State.  The NGO was established in December 1996 with the name Akwa Ibom State AIDS Care and support group (AKISASC) which changed to AIDS Care Managers in 1997. The organization was formed solely as an NGO with no input from the State Government. AIDS Care Managers (ACM) is duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, Abuja under the Company and Allied Matters Act 1990 with registration number RC 360009 as a Community Based Organization.

Following the devastating effect of HIV/AIDS on mostly women who were seen as the originators of the infection which resulted in their abandonment and their children, outright rejection from family/community members, stigma and discrimination, ACM Board members were moved to come together in order to mitigate and bring succor to the women and their families.

ACM has provided excellent services to women and their families’ through empowerment, Internal Savings and Lending Communities (SILC) and awareness creation. Employees and Management staff are not left out as their capacity are being built in various aspects. These resulted in building a sustainable structure within the organization. Importantly, the feedback mechanism put in place for both employees and target population also provides the needed excellent interpersonal relationship which is responsible for the growth of the organization.
