Ms. Wendy Fitzwilliams

Ms. Wendy Fitzwilliams, the 1998 Miss Universe is the UNFPA Face to Face Campaign Spokesperson. She has also been honored by the United Nations with the title of UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador, a direct result of her commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS and the stereotypes associated with it in the Caribbean and the world generally. She has narrated videos for both UNAIDS and UNICEF on the plight of children and people living with HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean. In 1998, she established The Hibiscus Foundation, an organization in Trinidad and Tobago, to heighten AIDS awareness and assist children’s homes. She hopes to expand the organization throughout the region, establishing a presence in Barbados and then the entire West Indies.
