For over two decades, Moyo (previously known as Peel HIV/AIDS Network) has provided a growing array of health promotion, education, social and support services for people living with, affected by, and at systemic risk of HIV. Through collaborative efforts and effective service delivery, Moyo has become the leading HIV/AIDS service provider for Peel's communities of Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon.Moyo is a Swahili word that means heart, life, spirit. These three pillars guide our philosophy. We remain committed to the principles of social justice, equity, and inclusion, and to ensuring that communities affected & effected by HIV attain optimal health and well-being.Our HistoryFor over 25 years, Peel HIV/AIDS Network has worked with communities to facilitate social change. Now, PHAN has become the pre-eminent HIV/AIDS Service provider in the Region of Peel with a staff responsible for different health promotion, community education and client support programs, with the dedicated support from many volunteers who help with program development and delivery. We acknowledge the various communities, community champions and partners that have supported our evolution. Without their contributions, we would not be where we are at today. In keeping with change, we must evolve and that is why the agency underwent a comprehensive consultation process with communities and partners to rebrand.Moyo HCS officially rebranded in June 2019 from Peel HIV/AIDS Network. This was an intentional move by stakeholders to;- Remove barriers to accessing care;- Reflect changing trends in Health Communications;- Reflect the expanding scope of the agency;- & Reiterate our solidarity in working with racialized communities.
