ABOUT US

The Stephen Lewis Foundation exists to offer an impactful and positive response to the AIDS epidemic primarily in Africa. Although AIDS impacts the world, 15 countries in particular within Africa has been hit extremely hard by its impact. Because of the lack of basic needs, the Foundation offers food and helps care for grandmothers and children affected by the epidemic. Our goal is to create a lasting change in the world and inspire others to also have a positive response to the AIDS epidemic and how far we have progressed to help people live with HIV and AIDS.

​

When AIDS was found to have spread to people in Europe and America, people panicked and even isolated people around them who were believed to have HIV or AIDS. Today, we do not think often enough about those who are affected by AIDS, and we especially do not think about people in developing countries who are not so fortunate to receive the same help as we do in more well-developed parts of the world.
