Please join us in extending our deepest gratitude to the Anova health workers and support staff who have dedicated themselves to serving communities across South Africa. Due to USAID funding cuts, we have had to say goodbye to nearly 3,000 nurses, HIV counsellors, community health workers, data capturers, doctors, and the administrative teams who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running.

These extraordinary individuals have been lifelines for those living with HIV, champions of prevention, and unwavering sources of support for the most vulnerable. Their compassion, resilience, and dedication made an immeasurable impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

To every person who has walked this journey – the communities you served will always carry the mark of your care and will only grow stronger because of you.

Your work has changed lives. You have saved lives. And for that, we say: Thank You!

If you have worked alongside these incredible professionals, join us in honoring them. Share a memory, a message of thanks, or simply recognize the heroes of our HIV response.
