Who We Are

Lupus Foundation of Africa

The Lupus Foundation of Africa (LFA) was founded in 2013, seeking to improve awareness of lupus among both health professionals and the general population, as well as to provide a community of emotional and material support to people diagnosed with lupus. With more than 90 active members across East Africa, we are ready to grow our community of warriors and highlight the importance of affordable diagnosis and treatment options, while reducing the stigma and lack of awareness of the disease.
