who we are

our mandate

We provide funds in four critical areas to…

• Ease the plight of women who are ill and struggling to survive, so that their lives can be free from pain and indignity.
• Assist orphans and other AIDS-affected children in every possible way, from the payment of school fees to the provision of food.
• Support grandmothers, the unsung heroes of Africa, who bury their own children and then care for their orphan grandchildren.
• Assist the remarkable efforts of associations of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHAs), courageous men and women who have openly declared their status.

our deepest thanks…

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Alexis MacDonald, SLF’s Director of Programmes, for her work with the Foundation over the last three years. She will leave her post in July to pursue graduate studies before running again for public office, where she will advocate around HIV/AIDS at the national and international level. Alexis has made a passionate and brilliant contribution to the Foundation and she will be missed. However, we are delighted to announce that Alexis will continue her relationship with SLF as a member of the Board of Directors, commencing in August 2007. Senior Programme Officer Aissatou Diajhate will step into the role of Director of Programmes.
