Stephen Lewis Foundation
Stephen Lewis Foundation ni shirika lisilo la kiserikali ambalo husaidia zaidi miradi inayohusika na masuala ya UKIMWI na VVU barani Afrika.[1]
Historia
haririShirika hili lilianzishwa na Stephen Lewis, mwanasiasa mkongwe wa Kanada na balozi wa zamani wa Kanada katika Umoja wa Mataifa. Kwanza alipendekeza wazo hilo katika mahojiano yaliyochapishwa katika gazeti la The Globe and Mail mnamo Januari 4, 2007, akinukuu janga la VVU / UKIMWI katika Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara.[2] Wasomaji kadhaa walijibu kwa michango ya kifedha, ambayo ya kwanza ilifika kabla ya shirika kuanzishwa rasmi. Wakati hundi za kwanza za shirika zilitumwa kwa barua mnamo Juni 2003 kwa miradi, michango ilifikia $ 275,000.[3] Kuanzia 2014, tovuti ya shirika inaonyesha kuwa imetoa zaidi ya dola milioni 80 kwa mipango zaidi ya 1,100 katika Afrika, Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara.[4]
Kwa juhudi zake za kuanzisha shirika hili, Lewis aliteuliwa kuwa mtu wa mwaka na jarida la Maclean's mnamo 2003 na alipewa nishani ya amani ya Pearson mnamo mwaka 2004.[5] Anaendelea kusafiri na kusema kwa niaba ya shirika hilo.[6] Binti wa Lewis, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, amekuwa mkurugenzi mtendaji wa shirika hili tangu kuanzishwa kwake mnamo mwaka 2003, na Bodi yake ya Ushauri ya Afrika inaongozwa na Graça Machel.[7][8]
