What Fundación Savia does

Fundación Savia (legal name: Fundación Salud Vida y Acción Social Savia) is a Chilean nonprofit foundation founded around 2000 and headquartered at Tegualda 1832, Ñuñoa, Santiago. The organization supports and accompanies people living with HIV/AIDS in Chile through three core programs: the Social Monitoring Program (PMS), which observes compliance of HIV/AIDS public policies against international human rights commitments; the HIV/AIDS Support and Counseling Program, providing free in-person and virtual counseling, treatment adherence support, orientation, HIV self-test accompaniment, and sexual health counseling; and the Community Extension Program (PEC), which delivers education, prevention, and training with a gender and human-rights focus to schools, universities, and community organizations.

The foundation produces media content including the 'Una Voz Savia' audiovisual series (in collaboration with El Desconcierto), the 'Memorias Fragmentadas' podcast on HIV community archives, and an archive of policy monitoring publications spanning 2011-2019. It is a member of the international Coalition PLUS network via the Right PLUS alliance and collaborates with organizations including Mujeres con Energía Positiva, Un Cuerpo en Expansión, Centro Cultural de España, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and Mesa de Promoción de la Salud Sexual de Ñuñoa.

The organization's business model is donation-driven: all services are provided free of charge, with revenue sourced from individual donations, automated monthly contributions (PAC), and bank transfers to a Banco Santander Chile account. There is no disclosed revenue, no investor capital, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Leadership comprises Executive Director Luz María Yaconi, Management Coordinator Facundo Ríos Velásquez, and communications lead Cristóbal Pradel Silva.
