WHO WE ARE
OUR VISION
We transform the lives of vulnerable children and adolescents exposed to or living with HIV to lead healthy, happy and positive lives
OUR MISSION
We empower children and adolescents exposed to or living with HIV and healthcare workers delivering life-saving HIV treatment and care.
WHAT WE DO
South Africa has one of the largest HIV treatment programmes in the world but is still the epicentre of the HIV epidemic which claims almost 4 000 young lives every year. This is a stark reminder that our future leaders are vulnerable, and their fragile lives depend on skilled healthcare workers and caring, responsible caregivers to enable access to life-saving treatment.
