Stephen Lewis Foundation
The Stephen Lewis Foundation is a non-governmental organization that assists mostly AIDS- and HIV-related grassroots projects in Africa.
==History==

The foundation was started by Stephen Lewis, a veteran Canadian politician and former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations. He first proposed the idea in an interview published in the ''Globe and Mail'' newspaper on January 4, 2003, citing the crisis of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.〔Stephanie Nolen, "Stephen Lewis has one word for us: Help," ''Globe and Mail'', 4 January 2003, F1.〕 Several readers responded with financial donations, the first of which arrived before the foundation had been formally established. By the time the foundation's first cheques were mailed out in June 2003 for projects, the donations totalled $275,000.〔Stephanie Nolen, "‘Someone is beginning to listen'," ''Globe and Mail'', 28 June 2003, F3.〕 As of 2014, the foundation's website indicates that it has disbursed over $80 million to more than 1100 initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa.〔(Financial Information ), Stephen Lewis Foundation, accessed 4 September 2015.〕
For his efforts in starting the foundation, Lewis was named as person of the year by ''Maclean's'' magazine 2003 and was awarded the Pearson Peace Medal in 2004.〔Samantha Martin, "'I see almost exclusively the bad. I don't see a lot that's good'; Stephen Lewis speaks on AIDS in Africa during University of Guelph talk Thursday," ''Guelph Mercury'', 4 October 2005, A3.〕 He continues to travel and speak on the foundation's behalf.〔"Lewis passes torch after heroic effort," ''Toronto Star'', 7 December 2006, R10.〕 Lewis's daughter, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, has been the foundation's executive director since its formation in 2003, and its African Advisory Board is chaired by Graça Machel.〔(About Ilana Landsberg-Lewis ), Stephen Lewis Foundation, accessed 19 February 2011; (The African Advisory Board ), Stephen Lewis Foundation, accessed 19 February 2011.〕
