Since 2005, we have invested in innovative and effective grassroots organisations running locally inspired and community-led projects that address the impact of HIV & AIDS.

Our team uses their local expertise, knowledge and extensive contacts to identify organisations that are delivering powerful results to those most in need. Our rigorous assessment and monitoring systems ensures these initiatives are scaled-up, accounted for and achieve cost-effective changes in the lives of children affected by HIV & AIDS.

Our Progress

We believe that real, systemic change can be achieved through the cumulation of multiple, small-scale interventions. By directing resources to local people who have lived through the epidemic and know best how to respond, we know that real, cost-effective results can be delivered for children and families affected by HIV & AIDS.

Here’s the progress we have helped our Partners to achieve since we started working in 2005.

Locally driven projects funded × Projects Funded This number represents all projects that Egmont has funded through our portfolio of carefully selected Partners. Egmont seeks Partners that are able to deliver powerful results and have the capacity to scale. Partners may receive successive grants upon successful completion of a project. Particularly effective Partners may be invited to move up through our grant structure enabling them to scale up their responses This number includes both completed projects and those that are still being implemented.	People helped by Egmont projects × People Helped This number represents the total number of people who will be reached and helped by our partners through their project activities. Egmont is not prescriptive and supports a wide range of approaches through our local partners. Some focus resources on reaching a significant number of people through awareness-raising and community campaigns to reduce the number of HIV infections. Some focus efforts on a smaller number to tangibly improve access to nutrition, education and healthcare. You can find more information about how our partners help children and family members by reading about Our Impact Areas This number is dynamic, and we update it periodically as we receive new information from project proposals, reports and from the field.

Our Projects

We fund locally-led grassroots projects in six of the sub-Saharan countries worst affected by HIV & AIDS - in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia & Zimbabwe. The immense scale of the epidemic means that every family and community is affected. We support local people to respond to the issues and needs of their communities. We focus on initiatives that deliver cost-effective improvements to the lives of children.

This approach allows for a refreshing diversity in the projects that we support. Our current projects can be seen on the map below.

Our Impact Areas

The HIV & AIDS epidemic affects each community differently. This is why the most effective responses address a range of issues and each of our Partners have their own distinctive approach, informed by the local context and their expertise.

Our rigorous reporting systems enable us to capture how these diverse initiatives are helping to improve the lives of children and families affected by AIDS. This helps us to monitor the impact that is being achieved across Egmont’s portfolio. You find out more about these systems by visiting Our Impact Areas.

IMPROVING LIVELIHOODS

Malnutrition causes half of all annual deaths in children under-five in sub-Saharan Africa.

Helping families to improve their livelihoods has a cascade effect. Well-fed children attend school more often and perform better. Drugs and medical treatment become more effective. Families are better able to provide for themselves.

Education

4 in 10 school-age children in sub-Saharan Africa are not enrolled in school.

Education leads to long-term, sustainable change. Children and adults who receive formal schooling or training earn more income and are able to care for themselves and their extended family members, breaking the cycle of poverty.

Healthier Futures

Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 60% of all AIDS-related deaths.

Teaching communities and younger generations how to avoid HIV and the importance of getting tested; enrolling those infected onto treatment so they cannot pass on their infection; and breaking down myths surrounding HIV are key to ending the epidemic.

Safer Communities

Women and young children remain the groups most affected by HIV & AIDS.

Combatting adverse cultural traditions and norms that endanger the health, wellbeing and dignity of women and children, while working with existing societal structures to empower those most at risk helps to reduce the impact of AIDS for all.
