Project overview

Amaoti is the biggest informal settlement in KwaZulu Natal where 70% of Durban’s street children come from. It is a place of high unemployment and is ravaged by HIV/AIDS, poverty and crime. The project helps youngsters aged 3-20, thereby encompassing everyone from pre-primary through to young adults. The project includes a Back-to-School programme that aims to tackle the very high drop-out rate in the area and to promote better life choices and education about HIV/AIDS.
