the village of hope seeks to help children infected or affected by hiv, aids and tb in two different ways: we have a 9 bed children's unit to support those infected by hiv and aids and we also run a community-based sports and lifeskills outreach in the informal settlements and squatter camps each afternoon.

this blog has been set up to allow the key members of the team at the village of hope to share their thoughts, photos and experiences as we work in the community of grabouw in south africa

village of hope provides new home for sisters

yesterday we were able to provide a home for 2 sisters (aged 4 and 2 years) who's mother is receiving hospital treatment for TB, unfortunately the mother has defaulted on her meds twice and is on her last chance...this is the reality for many people in grabouw and we are happy to help this family as they seek to make a road to full health.

we hope that the girls will settle well with the other 7 children that we are currently looking after and that during their stay with us they will receive the love and care from our house moms that they are missing from their mother.
