Preventing HIV/AIDS
in vulnerable population
We empower communities to identify their health needs
HIVSA is a not-for-profit company that was established in 2002 as well as a strategic partner of the Gauteng Provincial Departments of Health and Social Development.
Vision: Empowered and self- sustained communities
HIVSA believes that transformational change is attained through the empowerment of individuals, communities and community structures. Empowering interventions include education, the promotion of human rights, active participation, capacity strengthening, advocacy and ensuring access to basic services to contribute to the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
Mission: Contributing to Health and Social Change
To achieve its vision, HIVSA implements interventions that bring about meaningful and sustainable health and social change. In achieving its mission, HIVSA acknowledges that while it may introduce technical capabilities and support implementation through the provision of financial and human resources, community participation, participant input in the design, implementation and evaluation of its interventions is critical for the success and sustainability of its programmes. HIVSA is a learning organisation that continuously uses feedback mechanisms and data analysis to improve programme quality for the adaptation of its programmes to ensure impact.

- Remains committed to Community- Led solutions.
