The West Africa AIDS Foundation Plus (WAAF plus) is a registered nongovernmental organization (NGO) founded in 1999 with registration number G, 4852.

WAAFplus’ areas of focus are education, advocacy, community empowerment and development, treatment, care & support as well as research. With an onsite clinic, WAAF presents a unique one-stop service, connecting various communities to formal healthcare service delivery facilities.

WAAF is well known for its contribution over the years to Ghana’s healthcare by the Ghana Health Service, NACP and other major stakeholders in health care delivery. We act as a first point of contact for health care for other CBO’s, FBO’s, health facilities and are thus well networked with other formal health facilities in the country. Referrals, follow-ups and monitoring are also facilitated through our involvement in healthcare down to the grassroots level.

WAAF plays a leading role in community mobilization for improved access to heath services for under-served and vulnerable populations, and has extensive experience in developing and delivering community-based education and care programs. Coming into its 14th year, WAAF has stepped up to WAAF plus and will continue its commitment to leadership in servicing Ghana, particular its pregnant women, MSMs, sex workers, PLHIVs and their partners
