About the project

Fundraising is to enable the Khuphuka Project to take its next step which is to build a Community Centre. This will give their  work a base and enable a whole new level of support for the mQuatshen community as Khuphuka responds to the devastation of the AIDS pandemic in this area of South Africa. (see www.khuphuka.org)The Khuphuka project is an initiative of Dharmagiri outreach. - an HIV and AIDS community outreach program serving the uMqatsheni tribal area falling in KwaZulu-Natal.  This community faces huge problems including high HIV infection rates, high levels of unemployment, many orphans and ‘at risk’ children and associated poverty. There are large numbers of families close to starvation.
The goal for fundraising is to build a community centre from which to deliver outreach services to this community.  The Khuphuka Project has developed a positive relationship with the tribal leaders at uMqatsheni who have granted tribal land within the community to construct a Community Outreach Centre.

The project team report that "We have a great builder waiting to start who will work with locals from mQuatsheni. The land is available, we have put up a fence, we have the design, a planner and even furniture that has been sponsored by the US Consulate in Durban. All we need now is financial help"
