MAF is a non-governmental organisation that raises and administers funds to support the activities and programmes of MAC and its 49 partner organisations.

In Malaysia, there are over 82,000 people living with HIV, many of whom are from underprivileged backgrounds with limited access to basic health care and vulnerable to marginalisation due to the prevailing social stigma attached to HIV & AIDS.

Through its activities and programmes, MAF strives to reach out to as many people living with HIV as possible with treatment, care and support services, so as to improve their quality of life and enable them to contribute back positively to society.

MAC aims to raise RM 200,000 from this event.
