The infrastructure of the Anglican Church of South Africa - using its network of parishes as an outlet to distribute information and services - hosts HIV/AIDS prevention and educational sessions for people of all faiths, nationalities and races, and expedites the delivery of services, care and educational information into the surrounding communities and villages.

Anglican AIDS Healthcare Trust:

With its established presence in the community, reach into outlying rural areas, large and willing volunteer base and its acknowledged moral authority and ethos of compassion and human rights, the church is well placed to contribute significantly to the efforts to counter HIV & AIDS.

The Anglican Church of Southern Africa covers six countries – Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland, as well as the Islands of St Helena and Ascension. All programs and projects in Southern Africa are coordinated by the Anglican AIDS Office, based in Cape Town. Initially set up in April 2003 to implement the Isiseko Sokomeleza (Building the Foundation) program, the office is now responsible for three programs, each with its own staff and funding, yet integrated into one ministry.
