Our Mission

E4AID is dedicated to raising awareness about autoimmune diseases, educating students in underrepresented areas, and reducing stigma through knowledge and open conversations. By bringing tailored presentations to schools, we aim to create an informed and supportive community where autoimmune diseases are understood and acknowledged.

What is an Autoimmune Disease?

An autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. These diseases arise due to genetic, environmental, and many other factors and often have no cure.

Why is This Important?

Many students lack awareness of autoimmune diseases, leading to stigma. In underrepresented areas, the absence of discussion and education often results in those affected by autoimmune diseases feeling isolated, misjudged, or even blamed for their condition. By spreading knowledge, we promote understanding, empathy, and a more inclusive community.

What Action is E4AID Taking?

We present in schools, delivering interactive lessons on different autoimmune diseases. Through engaging discussions, we help students understand these conditions and the importance of awareness in building a supportive environment.

What Makes E4AID Unique?

We focus on educating students in underrepresented areas, where discussions and educational resources on autoimmune diseases are often limited or not a part of the curriculum. By bringing these conversations directly to these schools, we ensure that students gain essential knowledge, empowering them to be more aware, compassionate, and supportive of those affected by autoimmune diseases.
