What is Give a Day?
Give a Day is a simple and powerful response to the HIV epidemic in Africa. Your one day’s pay has an immense impact in the hands of community-led organizations and their powerful work to end AIDS.
For the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s community partners, your one day’s pay can help provide life-saving services. Your donation of one day’s pay helps to generate transformative impact.
Did you know?
The HIV epidemic remains a public health threat in African countries where SLF partners work and, around the world, an estimated 1.3 million people newly acquired the virus in 2024. There is still no vaccine or cure. Some 44.1 million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses since the start of the epidemic.
Now, international funding cuts to the global HIV response, including by USAID, threaten to reverse decades of progress. But we know that together, in solidarity, we can and will end AIDS.
