Ken Wong is the director of the Face-to-Face AIDS Project, a 501(c)3 organization that supports child-focused, educational, and income-generating projects that directly help Cambodians and Malawians living in poverty. Through photographs, video, and interviews, the Face-to-Face AIDS Project offers individual stories of those who suffer from poverty and diseases such as HIV so that donors know who they’re helping and how their support makes a difference in people’s lives. A firm believer in the value of challenging established ideas concerning international charity, Ken tries to lead his organization to concentrate on creating role model communities by supporting innovative, holistic programs that strengthen food security, basic healthcare and education, and community leadership. These programs are unique in that they rely on the inherent societal structure of the community, and strive for low implementation costs so as to be replicable in similar, neighboring communities. Ken has over 13 years of experience working on HIV-related issues and his photographic installations, the AIDS PhotoMosaics, have been exhibited at the United Nation headquarters, the Boston Museum of Science, and numerous universities such as Harvard, Yale, NYU School of Medicine, and Princeton. Born and raised in Oberlin, Ohio, Ken was educated at Colby College in Maine and the New England School of Photography. Ken is the recipient of The City of Boston Recognition Award.
