What is LoveYourself? LoveYourself Inc. (for the Youth & LGBT-MSM) is a nonstock, non-profit organization that aims to reach out to the MSM (men having sex with other men) community and its supporters to propagate ideas, attitudes, and practices that encourage loving oneself -- to DARE to be oneself, to CARE for oneself, and to SHARE oneself as a way to multiplying joy.
A COMMUNITY IN NEED.
This chart shows the monthly increase of clients at the LoveYourself Hub since the start of 2012.
In partnership with RITM (Research Institute for Tropical Medicine), LoveYourself has been able to reach thousands of MSMs (men having sex with other men) via the LoveYourself Hub. Located in Malate Manila, one of the favorite hangouts of MSMs in the metro, the LoveYourself Hub is an RITM satellite clinic and a LoveYourself community center. Riding off this successful partnership, LoveYourself hopes to ramp up its efforts and position itself to better handle the exponential increase in clients. Enter LoveYourself ANGLO. Located at the heart of Metro Manila, and near the up and coming gay center of Ortigas, LoveYourself ANGLO will be a community center that will be providing a much needed space for the MSM community. It will be a counseling and education space, an HIV clinic and a space to meet and converge. It will be a community center where one can be free of the stigma of ones sexuality and HIV status.
The LoveYourself Project is the ongoing pioneer project of LoveYourself Inc., it aims to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among the youth and key affected population through awareness, counseling and education. Check out our website for more details. www.loveyourself.ph
