Ndlovu Care Group Rural Advancement Programme
The Ndlovu Care Group (NCG) is an NGO focused on empowering rural communities towards sustainable community health and community care. To this end, NCG aims to establish partnerships with government departments, CSO and corporate groups, and roll out Rural Advancement Programmes (RAPs) in different areas. These include Autonomous Treatment Centres (ATCs), supplying community healthcare; and Community Care, Health, Awareness and Mobilisation Programmes (CHAMP).
mothers2mothers
Although mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS is almost entirely preventable, it remains a huge problem in South Africa, with overburdened healthcare systems, social stigma, and lack of access to healthcare being the main culprits. In order to create more effective prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), mothers2mothers (m2m) was established in 2001, with the focus of empowering HIV+ mothers to be involved in the healthcare process, improving the levels of service deliveries to mothers in the future.
Etafeni Project
The Etafeni project aims to address the numerous problems facing AIDS-affected and vulnerable children in Nyanga township outside Cape Town, where almost 28% of the population is HIV+. The Centre aims to provide holistic and sustainable community-based care, in a community-built and community-staffed centre. The Trust was formed in December 2001 in Cape Town; and the first phase involved training local community members (men and women) as builders to help build a pre-school (construction began in 2002).
