Who Are We Helping?
Founded in March 2003, the Stephen Lewis Foundation helps to ease the pain of HIV/AIDS in Africa at the grassroots level. It provides care to women who are ill and struggling to survive; assists orphans and other AIDS affected children; supports heroic grandmothers who almost single-handedly care for their orphan grandchildren; and supports associations of people living with HIV/AIDS. As of June 2008, the SLF had distributed and committed more than $22 million to grassroots initiatives across 15 sub-Saharan African countries, with millions more under consideration. For more information on the types of projects the SLF fund, the Grandmothers Campaign, and to access the latest news and resources, please visit the Stephen Lewis Foundation website www.stephenlewisfoundation.org
