The Thusanani Childrens Foundation is a small charity which works at a grassroots level in South Africa . Our aim is to help babies and young children who have been orphaned through HIV/AIDS, abandonment or abusive home environments. Some of the children are infected with HIV/AIDS, but most of them are orphaned as a result of their parents dying from AIDS. Our primary goal is to identify children who are developmentally delayed as a result of inadequate stimulation in homes and orphanages. We aim to provide education and hands-on therapy to promote normal development within these environments. Children who are functioning age appropriately will have a good start in life and cope far better with school, affecting their entire future. Promoting development also increases the child's chances of being adopted, as he/she no longer appears to be delayed.

"Thusanani" is an African word that means "Helping Each Other" and represents a loving and professional group of occupational therapists with a passion for bettering the lives of the many children orphaned in South Africa.



All children need love - ours need extra love, support and help, all of which can help with development.
