Steve Kallaugher – Young Heroes Foundation (AIDS in Africa)

After working as the Associate Creative Director at the Wall Street Journal for many years, Steve Kallaugher decided to retire and join the Peace Corps. Steve was placed in a small, rural community in Swaziland, which has the highest rate of AIDS on earth. He soon realized how much could be done to improve the quality of life there, especially for children who had been orphaned by AIDS. Steve stayed with the Peace Corps for a year before branching out on his own in partnership with the National AIDS Council to form the Young Heroes Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides food, shelter, clothing, school tuition and job skills training to youth affected by AIDS. Since 2006, the Young Heroes Foundation has impacted well over 5,000 orphans and other AIDS-affected youth with the means to survive as well as tools to ensure a better future.
