Did you know?

The PlettAid Foundation, now widely known as “Hospice Plett,” was established in 2003, originally responding to the HIV epidemic that swept across South Africa. Emerging as the Plettenberg Bay HIV/AIDS Forum, the organisation was founded out of dire necessity, as people living with HIV in poor communities received little to no access to crucial antiretroviral treatment or proper medical care. Over the following decades, the foundation’s role evolved alongside community needs—expanding its focus from HIV and related illnesses to encompass a spectrum of life-limiting conditions. This evolution was marked by a deliberate broadening of services, including care for people affected by drug-resistant TB, cancer, organ failure, neurological diseases, and other chronic illnesses.

By 2008, the Forum had formally become the PlettAid Foundation and, in that year, joined the Association of Palliative Care Centres of South Africa (APCC), aligning with national quality standards and enabling the later expansion of its flagship palliative care and community wellness programmes. Through steady growth in reach and capability, PlettAid has grown from a small team caring for fewer than 100 patients per year to an established organisation with more than 64 staff, supporting over 300+ palliative patients annually and providing wellness outreach to more than 50,000 community members. We are currently conducting an intensive pilot HIV/AIDS campaign dubbed 'Close the Gap' on behalf of the Department of Health, as HIV and related TB numbers continue to climb nationally.

Today, we remember the countless women of South Africa who died at the hands of intimate partners, and we advocate for action against those who continue to abuse others simply because of their gender. Let's all stand together to end Gender Based Violence!

Thank you to our PlettAid Choir and our staff who wore black and lay down at 12 to show their solidarity.
