Supporting and empowering HIV positive women in Cape Town.
“Hope is a big medicine”.
The story: HIV positive women in South Africa are engaged in low impact craft activities, in which they can be trained quickly and effectively and the products easily made at home.
Making the crafts gives a sense of achievement along with providing therapeutic value and may even be continued should their health deteriorate, allowing a desperately needed source of income to continue. The project provides skills and a regular, sustainable income but more importantly it facilitates empowerment through the womens' ability to support themselves and their families. “it has helped a lot as I had no money to buy food. Making the crafts means I can now buy food, vitamins and send my children to school.”
iKOU is proud to support this project...
Each holder comes with a small candle glass. iKOU has a great range of Natural wax tealights or Natural wax Votives to bring these beautiful holders to life...
