The Khuphuka Project Vision:


A South Africa where all who are living with or affected by HIV and AIDS have equal access to quality services and support without fear of stigma; and a society in which new infections dramatically decrease as a result of positive behavioural change.


The Khuphuka Project Mission Statement:

It is our mission to support and empower those living with, and affected by, HIV and AIDS using dynamic, innovative and compassionate responses.  We aim to deliver high quality home based care, child protection, youth work and paralegal services, as well as  awareness and education programmes to those communities facing poverty, exclusion and lack of resources.


Strategic Priorities:

1.    To deliver and develop quality home based care service to those living with and affected by HIV and AIDS and associated health and social care needs (SANAC-NSP-Priority area 2*)

2.    To deliver and develop a Paralegal service which supports service users to access their human rights, entitlements and justice (SANAC-NSP-Priority areas 3 and 4*)


3.    To identify the needs of orphaned or at risk children and develop appropriate responses to ensure their protection (SANAC-NSP-Priority area 2*)

4.    To research, create and develop innovative HIV and AIDS awareness and education programs (SANAC-NSP-Priority area 1*)


*The Khuphuka Project aims to work in co-operation with other NGO’s and government bodies towards improving the priority areas of the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC) HIV and AIDS and STI Strategic Plan for South Africa 2007-2011.
