We are a compassionate and responsible social investor that bridges the gap between the challenges and solutions in the HIV/AIDS ecosystem towards the overall goal of reducing HIV infections.
Just as the giraffe stands tall across the Savannah, CHABAHIVA Trust commands extensive foresight and a long-term approach to development, detecting community needs and whisking away fiduciary risk.
Diminished attention on the ongoing epidemic over the past few years has led to diminished funding while the impact of HIV/AIDS is still a harsh reality for many individuals, families, and communities.
It is this harsh reality that drives us to do what we do.
According to UNAIDS it is possible to end AIDS by 2030. In Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, the United Republic of Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, the 95-95-95 targets have already been achieved. With your involvement South Africa can be next!
95% of the people who are living with HIV know their HIV status through voluntary testing and community outreach.
95% of the people who know that they are living with HIV are on lifesaving antiretroviral treatment.
95% of people who are on treatment are virally suppressed, halting onward transmission completely.
In 2009, long-term funding support from the Waldensian Church’s Otto per Mille enabled CHABAHIVA Trust to formalize as an independent High Court non-profit trust, expanding healthcare investments to non-profit organisations across Mpumalanga, Northwest, Gauteng, and the Western Cape.
