eThembeni, formerly CMD Usizo Aids Trust, meaning “place of hope”, supplies holistic, relevant social services in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, focusing on the more rural, poor communities of the uThukela district and the uMsinga municipality. eThembeni's services address HIV and Aids-related issues and encourage communities to take control of their own situation in their private life, family structures and society.
This is achieved through Self Help Groups, Life/Sport Skills at schools, Family Preservation interventions, outreach to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and working closely with local churches to develop congregations that are without bias.

Manaleni Achievement Centre offers hope and action instead of despair and paralysis to the people of Tampa Bay and KwaMhlanga, South Africa, who are afflicted with or impacted by HIV/AIDS.
KwaMhlanga has a population of 500,000 people. Approximately 45% of the population is HIV positive. Unemployment in the area is about 70%. In addition, nearly 2 million South African children have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS-related illnesses. We believe that the hope, love and care we provide the children and families of KwaMhlanga will have a long range impact in the community. Children are receiving an education, learning important life skills and being given a chance to break the cycle of poverty and disease through our after school programmes and community interventions.
