The Apparel Lesotho Alliance to Fight AIDS (ALAFA) wins Drivers of Change Business Award
The Southern African Trust and Mail & Guardian’s Drivers of Change Award recognises individuals or organisations in the southern Africa region that are making a real impact, especially in developing effective public policies and strategies to overcome poverty. It is awarded in three categories: civil society, government, and business.
ALAFA received the Drivers of Change Award for 2008 in the business category for its innovative, sector-wide, public-private-community partnership that has shown how it is possible to protect key productive economic sectors in poor countries from the ravages of HIV and AIDS.
