Please join us on 16 May 2026 for our annual Camden fundraiser walk. Bring the kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids to experience a taste of Africa’s joy, hear updates on our AAF projects, and help us raise essential funds during this time of global uncertainty.
We are an Australian NGO serving marginalised people in Africa through Christian faith in action. Our story began with Dr John and Rosalie Schwarz’s medical service in South Africa (1975-1984). See Timeline
Today we create change by working with accredited partners in Kenya and South Africa, and with the support of dedicated volunteers based in Camden NSW, Australia.
The African AIDS Foundation is run out of The Schwarz Family Practice - Elderslie.
Our mission is to create a better future for African children and youth, with a focus on those who are orphaned or vulnerable due to the impacts of poverty as a result of HIV/AIDS.
Our overheads and operating costs are covered by generous supporters, which means every dollar you give directly funds projects in Africa.
Now, not only can I grow better food to eat, but I can also sell my vegetables to buy basics like medicine. This is very important to me because I am looking after my grandchildren and my late sister’s grandchildren. I am so grateful to AAF and partners for this training and support.Khosi, Rural Africa
