With donations from people like you we have provided $5,000 grants to 15 community-led organizations which are continuing to provide live-saving HIV services to those most in need. Read more about these organizations below.
YAU is improving nutrition for 168 children living with HIV who are not virally suppressed. Funds will purchase fortified maize flour, beans, and groundnuts, providing each child a three-month food supply. YAU staff will also deliver home-based case management and caregiver training on nutrition, hygiene, and consistent feeding. This integrated approach aims to boost immunity, support treatment adherence, and help children achieve viral suppression.
In Lualaba Province, Kheth’Impilo is restoring access to HIV diagnostic testing, which had dropped below 30% after funding cuts. The grant will fund staffing and transport to collect and process up to 5,000 viral load and early infant diagnosis samples across four Health Zones—ensuring timely treatment for HIV-positive children and infants.
PCZ will deliver community-based HIV services to 4,000 adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and 82 children with disabilities. Trained caseworkers will offer HIV testing, care referrals, and linkages to education, vocational training, and child protection. The grant will also support families of children with disabilities through access to healthcare and caregiver savings groups.
CHoiCe Trust is rehiring a social worker to support 120 HIV-positive children and adolescents in Limpopo. Since USAID funding ended, many have lacked follow-up care. The social worker will conduct home visits, provide psychosocial support, and coordinate care with health providers—helping prevent treatment interruption and supporting adherence.
Stepping Stones will provide three months of case management to 300 vulnerable children, reconnecting those with HIV to treatment and monitoring viral suppression. Staff will respond to violence or neglect cases, linking families to legal, social, and health services. The goal is to protect children and strengthen overall family well-being.

Groups will provide training on treatment adherence, reproductive health, nutrition, and financial literacy. Facilitators will also teach home gardening to improve food security. Social workers will offer targeted help to vulnerable families to boost treatment and reduce stigma.
OSSHD is aiding 255 HIV-positive children who defaulted on treatment due to conflict. Monthly care packages—food, healthcare, and school supplies—will be provided for three months. This emergency support will stabilize health, improve adherence to treatment, and enable children’s return to school, restoring stability after prolonged disruption and displacement.
Pamuhacha will monitor viral loads for 250 HIV-positive children and aid 150 survivors of sexual violence. Support includes counseling, court accompaniment, and emergency transport. Ten community childcare workers will be trained in crisis response and economic support, ensuring urgent needs are met while promoting children’s safety, recovery, and resilience.

These targeted interventions aim to improve viral suppression and restore health for vulnerable children.

Caregiver groups will be reactivated for peer support and psychosocial help.

The project will also fund medical care and transport for 20 children, expand post-violence care and legal services for 180 GBV survivors, and provide psychosocial support. The grant aims to reduce non-suppression among mother–child pairs and lower HIV risk among GBV survivors.
HIVSA works to improve health outcomes for Children and Adolescents Living with HIV in South Africa, where 27% are not on lifesaving treatment. Before USAID cuts in January 2025, HIVSA supported over 10,000 children in Gauteng Province.
