STEPHEN LEWIS FOUNDATION

Championing health and human rights with community-led partners to end AIDS in Africa.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation is a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to supporting grassroots initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa that address the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS. Founded in 2003 by Stephen Lewis, a former UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, the foundation works directly with community-based organizations to provide funding and resources that empower women, orphaned children, grandmothers, and people living with HIV/AIDS. These local initiatives focus on critical areas such as healthcare, education, psychosocial support, and income-generating activities, ensuring that vulnerable populations have the tools to rebuild their lives and communities. The foundation is deeply committed to amplifying the voices of those affected by the pandemic and fostering long-term, sustainable change through partnerships rooted in trust and mutual respect. By prioritizing grassroots solutions, the Stephen Lewis Foundation addresses the social and economic inequalities exacerbated by HIV/AIDS, while advocating for global solidarity and action to combat the epidemic.
