Makatini Foundation was established with the aim of encouraging support to underprivileged children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. We promote assistance and provide support services to Orphanages who are permanent Homes to many children affected and infected by the pandemic. We deliver direct care and maximise opportunities that will benefit the less privileged by creating long term relationships with all stakeholders of our society.
Makatini Foundation has various programmes aimed at fighting prejudice and stigma-related violence. We create awareness and remind others of the need for their support to the children orphaned and made vulnerable by AIDS. We identify and support homes by providing food, uniforms, school fees and other necessities. It is our moral obligation to create networks of support to increase awareness about the virus and to educate the youth on HIV prevention, care and treatment.
Makatini Foundation exists meaningfully to promote assistance in order to expand our programmes to all communities and promote assistance by introducing various programmes addressing the most pressing needs of the infected and affected. We encourage the underprivileged affected children from the Homes to live a positive life. We arrange onsite visitations of health professionals for counselling, testing and information sharing.
We believe with innovative educational programmes/ interactive activities and discussing forums the children can live a normal life. We facilitate discussion forums to promote joyfullness, different talents and ways to build self-confidence and overcome low self-esteem. It is our primary goal to see all the children reach their maximum potential and break out of the various circles of negative self-image, self-destructive thinking and learn the art of self-acceptance in order to alter their lives for the better.
