about us
The Anthony Chisom AIDS Foundation (ACAF) was founded by Anthony Chisom in 2008 in response to two events: his own experience in living with HIV/AIDS, and his 2006 visit to the continent of Africa to the countries of Rwanda & Tanzania.
What Drives Us
One of the main driving forces behind ACAF is knowing first hand how a life can benefit and be changed from access to vital HIV/AIDS medications. We feel that as many people as possible should have access to the medications necessary to sustain a healthy lifestyle, thereby making the possibilities for one's life endless.
Mission
The mission of ACAF is to bring SUPPORT, HOPE AND MEDICINE to people living with AHIV/AIDS around the world that are not currently served by another organization.
