With fuel prices in Malawi topping $14 per gallon and ongoing fuel shortages, the impact is far greater than an expensive inconvenience. GAIA has recently been recruited to transport medical emergencies to a medical facility with ICU capacity, as well as blood supplies—because the hospital’s own ambulances had no fuel.

When fuel becomes scarce, life-saving services are put at risk.

A new Devex article from the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), confirms our fears: global HIV services have not recovered from the major funding cuts that began in 2025. Across multiple countries, declines in HIV testing, prevention, treatment initiation, and pediatric HIV care present growing risks for people living with and vulnerable to HIV.

These findings reflect what many community-based organizations are seeing firsthand: progress against HIV is fragile. Sustained investment in testing, prevention, treatment, and linkage to care is essential to protect communities globally.

Despite unprecedented challenges in 2025, GAIA continued delivering life-changing care and education across Malawi and Zambia.

Last Saturday, we had the honor of celebrating playwright/screenwriter and longtime GAIA supporter Winnie Holzman for her extraordinary philanthropic contributions to our work in Malawi.
