AgriAid SA is an NGO, established in 2008, to organise and implement HIV, TB, NCDs and wellness programmes for workers in agriculture, forestry and fisheries irrespective whether workers are permanent, seasonal or migrant. The programmes are funded and supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), a PEPFAR implementing agency, and the National Department of Health (NDoH).

AgriAid SA promotes an integrated approach wherein HIV/TB awareness, information sharing, biannual testing, and treatment are essential components of the fight against the pandemic.
