National Association for People living with HIV/AIDS in Malawi (NAPHAM) is a Malawian non-governmental member-based organization[1] founded in 1993 aiming at providing a forum for people living with HIV/AIDS in Malawi to share their experiences and find solutions to solve them.[2][3][4] The organization was found with an intention to minimised discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS as at the time people were stigmatized and treated as outcasts when diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.[2][5][1][6][7][8]
Members of NAPHAM meet by yearly for the representation under Annual General Meeting. The board of trustees are elected every five years who is supported by a secretariat.[2][9][10][11][1]
