We empower communities to identify their health needs
HIVSA, a Section 21 non-profit company founded in 2002, is headquartered in Johannesburg, Gauteng. Initially focused on HIV prevention during the pre-treatment era, HIVSA has a strong track record of implementing projects in the City of Johannesburg, City of Tshwane, and Sedibeng, with recent expansions into the North-West and Limpopo provinces in 2024.
We believe in the power of involving communities in the development process, ensuring they have the opportunity to drive their own growth. HIVSA strengthens and mentors Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) and other local structures to implement health and social services.
HIVSA is committed to empowering communities to be self-sustainable in addressing socio-economic and health challenges. As a result, HIVSA continues to set new standards in the community health sector.
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.
