About us
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is a proven leader in the global fight to end HIV and AIDS, and an advocate for children to live full and healthy lives into adulthood. Founded over 30 years ago through a mother’s determination, EGPAF is committed to a comprehensive response to fighting HIV and AIDS through research, global advocacy, strengthening of local health care systems, and growing the capacity of governments and communities in the world’s most affected regions to respond to urgent needs. Each stage of life brings new and different challenges, and we’re driven to see a world where no other mother, child or family is devastated by this disease.
