Who We Are
We are building a stronger lupus community in Africa.
The Lupus Foundation of Africa (LFA) is an African patient-led, patient-centered organization dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by lupus and other autoimmune conditions across the continent.
Established in 2013, LFA was founded on a simple conviction: people living with lupus in Africa deserve to be seen, heard, diagnosed early, treated appropriately, and supported to live healthy and dignified lives.
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.

Warriors Testimonial
I learned almost everything I know about lupus from LFA and that knowledge gave me the confidence to get control back in my life and do almost everything I used to be able to do including running. It also helped my husband, family and employer to know what lupus is and how we can make life work together.
