TAC has been formally endorsed by the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), with nearly two million members, and has won an award from the South African National NGO Coalition for its advocacy. Judge Edwin Cameron, who is well known internationally for his AIDS work, described TAC as having "given a life-enhancing focus to the PWA movement [in South Africa]. For four million South Africans living with HIV who have no present access to treatment, the TAC has offered a focus for their activism, a channel for their energy, and an outlet for well-justified anger about the awesome spread of HIV infection."
Tax-exempt donations for TAC can be made through:
South Africa Development Fund 555 Amory Street Boston, MA 02130 phone 617 522-5511; e-mail: freesa@igc.org
Make checks payable to South Africa Development Fund and indicate the funds are for TAC. 100% of the donation will go to TAC.
