The Topsy Foundation NPC - "hereafter referred to as Topsy Foundation or Topsy", was conceptualised and founded in 2000 by Duke Kaufman, Silja Elena and Doug Maritz. 

The mission of the Topsy Foundation is fulfilled using interrelated programmes, which operate together to help prevent HIV and AIDS and alleviate its consequences.  The programmes operate a number of related projects. Frequently, the activities done in one project fulfil the mandates of more than one programme.  It is precisely this 'web' of intervention that is helping to bring social, economic and physical change - within the communities that Topsy serves.

Topsy seeks to address the effects of HIV and AIDS by intervening in the lives of individuals infected and affected by HIV and AIDS, as well as addressing the plight of affected children, by attending to their basic needs.

Topsy aims to reduce the strain caused by the disease to all societal systems through the provision of:

  1. A comprehensive service, through the Topsy Comprehensive HIV and AIDS Care Clinic, for local people who are living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA’s).
  2. HIV counselling and testing (HCT) service and prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT).
  3. Psychosocial support to families affected by HIV and AIDS.
  4. Meeting the basic needs of families affected by HIV and AIDS and providing food parcels.
  5. Empowerment through provision of skills in vegetable gardening.
  6. Influencing youth behaviour during life-skills sessions.
  7. HIV and AIDS awareness to people in isolated areas of the community.


We realise that our operations are a large undertaking, but we believe without a doubt, that a huge pandemic needs an equivalent response.

We invite you to join us.
