For women living with HIV, The Women's Lighthouse Project (WLP) is a beacon of hope, support, advocacy and understanding. Serving Colorado women and their families since 1997, the mission of WLP is to support and empower women to live and thrive with HIV through education, advocacy and community.
WLP offers a diverse range of services to their clients, including mentoring and support as clients make their way through the medical and social service systems, education for incarcerated women and staff at the Denver Women's Correctional Facility, and free rapid HIV testing.
