AIDS-HOSPICE & NTSHALINTSHALI COMMUNITY PROJECTS came about as a result of a grass-root, community effort to address the growing needs to care for the Zulu population living in the Champagne valley of Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.

While one of the principal aims of AIDS-HOSPICE is to raise funds to provide land and the building of a community-based AIDS Hospice, we also hope to address a number of other community needs, some of which are related to the AIDS pandemic but others which relate to raising the standard of living and opportunity afforded to local Zulu communities.

Sofi Cogley is in Sydney to raise $40,000 to buy 20 hectares of land in South Africa. This will be used to establish a community centre to raise awareness and to look after children whose parents are ill.
