Community-based organizations in Africa are leading the way in innovative and effective programmes to subdue the AIDS pandemic. The Stephen Lewis Foundation exists to support them.  Since 2003, we have funded more than 700 initiatives with 300 community-based organizations in 15 African countries that have been deeply affected by the AIDS pandemic.

These grassroots groups provide counselling and education about HIV care, prevention and treatment; distribute food, medication and other necessities; reach the sick and vulnerable through home-based health care; help orphans and vulnerable children access education and work through their grief; and support grandmothers caring for their orphaned grandchildren.

With your support, these grassroots organizations will reach hundreds of thousands of the most vulnerable children (including orphans, children with disabilities, children heading households), support grandmother groups to access pensions, health care, food sources and emotional support, strengthen networks  of people living with HIV and AIDS, assist home-based care workers with stipends, training and support,  and provide quick and effective support in crisis situations for organizations working at the crossroads of sexual violence and HIV/AIDS.

“Give a Day is an intensely individual and human response to the AIDS pandemic. You can’t imagine what a few dollars will do to transform human life amongst sophisticated and resilient people who are struggling for survival each day.”
