Reproductive Health: Girls to Women
As our
center in South Africa, eKhaya eKasi, reaches its seventh birthday, we are aware of the passage of time. Girls who entered the after-school program years ago are approaching womanhood. In the AIDS
capital of the world, we want to insure that these young ladies have the
knowledge to make safe, responsible decisions.
To address this critical need, Art Aids Art is launching a reproductive health program. With your help, we can empower young women -- by caring for
themselves, leading by example, and sharing information -- to make their
community healthier and safer.

Rooftop Garden Expanding! eKhaya eKasi's "Green Roof" is exceeding our wildest expectations. With planter box contributions from Uthando, growing space has doubled. A donation from overseas provided new sturdy flooring to support the additional weight. Last month, hosting 30 international guests for lunch, the kitchen team used exclusively vegetables from upstairs. And local ladies who in the past did not care to "eat like goats" are now enjoying delicious spinach and beets! Special thanks to the eKhaya eKasi team for lovingly watering and weeding every day. |
