About the foundation

Since 1970, the South African Haemophilia Foundation has been a volunteer-run organization.

The SAHF as a member of the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) is part of a large global network of volunteers that support haemophilia and persons with other inherited bleeding diseases.

The foundation firmly believes that in our new democracy, no one born with a bleeding disorder should have to live with agony, incapacity, or the possibility of dying young.

Haemophilia is a treatable disorder.
