What We Do

SAAF provides long term funding and grants to adults and children on the HIV Medication Program to enable them to obtain treatment and medication to combat the HIV virus and opportunistic infections such as TB, Cancer and pneumonia. Where a family is getting support from SAAF either under the orphans program or HIV medication program, SAAF will also assist the family to be self sufficient in the long term. SAAF also gives material support in the form of grants for rent and household bills, clothing, food and water including water supply.

Our Story

The Southern Africa AIDS Foundation (SAAF) was formed as a community association in March 2002. SAAF was formed in response to stigmatisation associated with HIV/AIDS within the African community living in the United Kingdom (UK), and the seemingly hopeless plight of orphans, known locally as “street children”, in Southern Africa. The group concluded that the stigma associated with HIV and AIDS within the community in general, was the result of a lack of up to date information on HIV transmission, testing and treatment. As a group, they would be in a better position to support orphans in Southern Africa and to disseminate information in the UK to the African community in a culturally appropriate way.

We’ve Raised over $1,000,000

A big “Thank You” goes to those members and supporters who made non-cash or in-kind donations for the Charity’s work in the UK and Southern Africa. The charity kept its costs and expenditure low due to the voluntary work done by its members and supporters. The charity relies heavily on such support and goodwill, without which the Charity will not be able to do its work.
