The time is now, the place is South Africa and the difference is their tomorrow. Introducing Focus on iThemba – A Place of Hope.
No life, not a single one, has gone untouched by HIV/AIDS in South Africa. The needs of South Africans are among the greatest in the world. The statistics are frightening and it is predicted that by the year 2015, there will be 5.7 million children orphaned by the pandemic, 52% of whom do not attend school. This has catastrophic implications for family and community structures with households being headed by children as young as 9 years old and traditional safety nets being unravelled.
Located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Focus on iThemba is an accredited non-profit, public benefit organisation (18a) restoring hope in people’s lives.
