We are a purely voluntary, non-profit organization, operating out of Johannesburg, and our focus is on 0-6 year old orphans in the most needy areas of South Africa.

Our main objective is to train, and thereby empower caregivers to provide appropriate stimulation to babies and pre-schoolers 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 losing their parents to HIV/AIDS.

Thusanani aims to empower orphanages and selected townships and squatter camps to realize the importance of early development and play as the “food” to nourish the brain and body. By intervening early, we can assist in the development of functional little beings as our future in South Africa.
