Topsy Foundation
(UK, 1115428) Browse events
YTD Raised: £2,092.00Who are we? Topsy Foundation UK´s primary aim since registering as a charity in 2006 is to support the work of Topsy South Africa. The Topsy Foundation partners with rural communities in South Africa, empowering people infected with or affected by HIV and AIDS, through medical care, social support and skills development. Since the work began in 2000, we have helped thousands of men, women and children in and around the Mpumalanga region of South Africa. This province has one of the higher HIV and AIDS prevalence rates, being 14.1%. Our activities take place from a central project site at Grootvlei, in the Mpumalanga Province. The communities surrounding the Topsy Sanctuary struggle with poverty. Compounded by the fact that work is scarce, the disease prevents people from gaining access to employment. Furthermore when an infected person has progressed to the final phase of the disease, looking after their immediate families in terms of food and basic health care becomes an overwhelming challenge unless assistance is forthcoming. Topsy has offered support to people of all ages living in the communities who are either affected or infected with HIV and AIDS. From April 2014, work will focus on Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs). Our comprehensive range of projects are designed to complement one-another and offer a broad base of care, they include:
