CHIVA Africa We transform the lives of vulnerable children and adolescents exposed to or living with HIV

For over 15 years, CHIVA Africa has been equipping health professionals across South Africa with practical skills, knowledge and training in specialist child and adolescent healthcare. This has expanded beyond HIV to include young people with other diseases, such as TB, diabetes, epilepsy and mental health issues so they can protect and manage their own health as they reach adulthood. Every child, regardless of where they live, deserves quality healthcare.

South Africaโ€™s HIV programme is facing new challenges, with recent reports showing slower uptake of life-saving antiretroviral treatment and growing gaps in support for vulnerable communities.

Children exposed to and living with HIV cannot be left behind.

CHIVA Africa is committed to strengthening healthcare systems and supporting frontline healthcare workers to better respond to the needs of vulnerable children and families. Earlier this year, our team trained and mentored 144 healthcare workers in the iLembe District to improve the use of HIV monitoring tools and strengthen patient follow-up and care.

Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Every family deserves support. Every healthcare worker deserves mentorship and guidance.

Together, we can continue working towards zero new HIV infections, zero AIDS-related deaths, and healthier futures for all children.

No pregnant woman living with HIV should walk this journey alone.
Community Health Workers provide vital support during pregnancy - helping mothers stay on treatment, attend appointments, access care, and protect their babies from HIV.

At CHIVA Africa, we believe that strong community support leads to healthier mothers, HIV-free babies, and stronger families.
๐Ÿ’™ Connected. Supported. Protected.

A motherโ€™s love, support, and care give every baby the best possible start in life.

For mothers living with HIV, staying on treatment and achieving viral suppression can make breastfeeding much safer, with the risk of HIV transmission becoming extremely low when viral load remains suppressed.

Healthcare workers play a critical role in counselling and supporting mothers through this journey โ€” helping them make informed choices that protect both mother and baby.

At CHIVA Africa, we are strengthening healthcare systems through mentorship and training so that mothers receive compassionate, evidence-based care and babies can grow up healthy and HIV-free.

๐Ÿ’› Together, we can build healthy mothers, HIV-free children, and strong families.

A healthy baby starts with a healthy mother.

During pregnancy, mothers living with HIV need more than treatment they need support to stay on treatment and achieve viral suppression.

Through antenatal care (ANC), healthcare workers provide counselling, encouragement, and care - helping mothers take their medication every day, stay strong, and protect their babies.
At CHIVA Africa, we support healthcare workers to walk this journey with mothers so that every baby has the chance to be born HIV-free.

Because when a mother is virally suppressed, she is not only protecting herself she is protecting her child.
๐Ÿ’› Together, we can build strong families and healthier futures.

A healthy pregnancy begins with one important step: knowing your HIV status.

Through antenatal care (ANC), every mother will receive HIV counselling and testing - ensuring she gets the care and support she needs as early as possible.

At CHIVA Africa, we support healthcare workers to provide compassionate counselling and quality care - so that mothers can access treatment early, stay healthy, and give their babies the best chance to be born HIV-free.

Because when we support mothers, we protect children.
And together, we build strong families and healthier futures.

๐Ÿ’› Help us reach every mother, every child.

Every woman deserves the right to choose when and if she has a child.

By providing family planning counselling, access to a range of modern contraceptives, and respecting each womanโ€™s informed choice, we can prevent unintended pregnancies and protect the next generation from HIV.

At CHIVA Africa, we work alongside healthcare workers and communities offering mentorship and health education to ensure women receive the care, support, and information they need.

๐Ÿ’› Planned pregnancies.
๐Ÿ’› HIV-free children.
๐Ÿ’› Zero new infections.

Together, we can build healthier families and a future free from HIV.

๐Ÿ’› Be part of this change.
Your support help us train and mentor healthcare workers and reach more women with life-saving care.

When a person living with HIV is on consistent antiretroviral treatment and has an undetectable viral load, they cannot transmit HIV to a sexual partner.

Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U)
