After more than a quarter of a century of working to improve health conditions in underserved communities in partnership with the South African government, private industry, civil society, and academia, we made the difficult decision to conclude our work on January 31, 2025.

While we are sad to mark the end of an era for South Africa Partners, we are gratified to stand behind the efforts that brought renewed health, hope, and dignity to so many for so long.

We are grateful for your steadfast support, which enabled us to serve as a leader in improving healthcare systems, particularly in supporting testing and early-stage interventions for those living with HIV/AIDS. The decision of the South African government to adopt our approach as the national “standard of care” in all nine provinces in 2015 stands as a milestone in our long history

South Africa Partners also made significant strides in other critical areas. Our education programs worked to empower young people and improve literacy and persistence in school. Through our early childhood education initiative, we laid the groundwork for future generations to thrive and helped to uplift entire communities across South Africa. 

As we recognize these achievements, we hope that you, as a longstanding partner on the journey, feel a similar sense of accomplishment for all that South Africa Partners was able to accomplish. We are proud of the legacy we leave, one that we all built upon hope, resilience, and partnership.

With heartfelt thanks for your extraordinary vision and profound impact,

Jessica Benjamin, Board President

David Dolbashian, Executive Director
