Art Aids Art promotes education, health, and sustainable economic development through the arts in South Africa. Founded in 2003 by educators, we serve adults and children in Khayelitsha, a township near Cape Town. Residents of Khayelitsha, a township created by the forcible relocation of Black South Africans during the apartheid regime, face a daily struggle for survival due to extreme poverty, substandard living conditions, and high rates of domestic violence and HIV/AIDS. To address these challenges, Art Aids Art established eKhaya eKasi (“Home in the ‘Hood”) Art and Education Centre. eKhaya eKasi houses several small business pilot projects, a rooftop vegetable garden, an art boutique, children’s after school activities, and an extensive children’s multicultural library. With our U.S. office based in Altadena, California, Art Aids Art’s American activities focus on educating the public about South African culture and the HIV/AIDS crisis through presentations at schools and community centers, and at home-based beadwork fundraisers. Each year, we lead an intergenerational group of volunteers to Cape Town, home of our South African headquarters, to provide services through our own programs and in collaboration with participating South African organizations.

Our Vision is to be a home with appropriate and dignified spaces that allow the practice of the necessary activities and programs where the girls can discover the treasure that they carry within, we do this by helping them maximize their potential by discovering their talents and capabilities so they can achieve social re-integration when they are ready to leave our home. During their time in our school the girls continue their education and receive professional psychological attention. We work in conjunction with institutions in the area with whom we have agreements that certify that the girls have comply with the Government Educational requirements. Some girls are allowed to attend school out of our home, others receive home schooling, either because they are behind their regular school grade or need special attention. That is why we also offer government approved home education programs. We follow up with each case until the girls succeed and get their school diploma. To assure the girls not only have an academic development, we also offer different workshops so they can have an alternative career path when leaving the house, they can choose between, Cosmetology, Seamstress, and Artisanship. They also learn English and take IT courses. We are very proud to be able to say that over the years we have rescued from the streets over 320 girls, we have formed more than 70 community leaders and over 50 of our girls have been able to form their own family.
