Vineeta Rastogi

Vineeta Rastogi (August 4, 1968, in Silver Spring, Maryland – December 6, 1995) was an American AIDS activist, public health worker and Peace Corps Volunteer in Democratic Republic of the Congo.

When the disease was terminal she started the Vineeta Foundation to continue her life's work.

She was co-chair of the "Violence and Human Rights" Conference and a founding member of Young Indian-American Forum.

She was an Albert Schweitzer Urban Fellow and Award-winner (for outstanding Public Health student).

Today the foundation that bears Rastogi's name is a major force in public health and human rights, both domestically and globally.
