Home in the 'Hood - Changing Lives

Providing an oasis of opportunity and support in a community ravaged by poverty and HIV/AIDS -- that's the goal of "Home in the 'Hood", an art, education and microbusiness center in Khayelitsha, South Africa. Training programs help to build skills while several small businesses create income for local residents. A yoga program connects students with ways to support their own well-being.

Funded entirely by teachers and other individual supporters in the USA, "Home in the 'Hood" was built with the help of students at Harvard's Graduate School of Design. We are now seeking sponsors for education and yoga programs. Small donations go a long way! Info at www.artaidsart.org.
