About the African AIDS Foundation

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.

Your donation. Their future.

100% of public donations go to the cause

When you give to African AIDS Foundation, every cent goes directly to helping children and young people in need—no admin fees, no waste.

Our mission

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.

Livelihood Programs

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.
