Who we are
The National Association for People Living with HIV and AIDS in Malawi is a member based organization which was founded in 1993 with the aim of providing a forum for PLHIV to share their experiences and information and to find solace because at that time they were stigmatized and treated like outcasts. At the helm of NAPHAM are the members who as provided in the organizational Constitution, meet by representation at the Annual General Meeting. Below the members is the board of trustees whose members are elected every five years. This board is then supported by a secretariat which is headed by the Executive Director, supported by one director of Finance and Administration and another for Programmes respectively.
