Your support will enable groundbreaking health research and helps us to provide essential health services to our communities helping to build a healthier South Africa, contributing to our mission towards a HIV free generation.
Be a Changemaker
As the HIV,TB and NCD epidemics continue to merge in South Africa, it is critical that we develop and implement evidence-based, innovative prevention programmes that target disease risk factors before illness occurs. The principle underpinning the concept of the Mpilo Health Park is to intervene and re-frame unhealthy behaviours before they become engrained in a person’s lifestyle.. Donations can be made here and are tax deductible.
Help us close the US funding gaps
The recent U.S. funding freeze has dealt a major blow to HIV treatment and prevention efforts, particularly in marginalized communities that rely on NGO-led programs for essential services. Many of these organizations fill critical gaps left by government healthcare systems, providing PrEP, ART, HIV testing, and outreach to key populations—including LGBTQ+ individuals, sex workers, and adolescent girls and young women—who often face barriers to mainstream healthcare. With funding disruptions, programs are scaling back or shutting down, cutting off lifelines for those most at risk. The freeze threatens progress made in the global fight against HIV and could lead to increased infections, treatment interruptions, and preventable deaths. Urgent action is needed to restore funding and ensure continued access to life-saving services. We will ensure that 100% of your donation to this campaign goes towards filling critical service gaps.
