KwaAfrica was established in 1995 to enable people living with HIV/AIDS to lead healthy, fulfilling and long lives.

 

In early 1990s London a group of professionals from the African diaspora grew increasingly concerned about the impact of HIV/AIDS on their community. The epidemic had claimed many lives, torn apart families and left children without parents, yet the root causes were not being adequately addressed. Recognising that such a complex issue would require concerted engagement, a decision was made to create an organisation that could make a difference by bringing together community resources.
