We are currently working with the following partners in South Africa and Zambia: The Love and Care Project, which provides child care in Masiphumelele Township of Cape Town to 100 children who are affected by HIV/AIDS (approximately half of whom are HIV-positive themselves), support to youth andchildren to attend school, and support services to HIV-positive members of the community. Development Education and Leadership Teams in Action (DELTA), focusing on leadership development for women in rural communities regarding the psychosocial needs of children, particularly orphans affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and HIV intervention with women, through understanding the link between vulnerability, sex, HIV/AIDS and death. Khululeka Grief Support for Children and Youth, who are distributing the book Someone I Love Died (translated into 4 languages), a collection of stories about HIV/AIDS, loss and hope. The Women's Hope, Education And Training (WHEAT) Trust, an organization based in Cape Town which supports a wide range of grassroots development projects for women. YWCA Zambia, who engage in a range of development initiatives and advocacy with a focus on women's and youth empowerment, including the Children In Crisis Centre in Lusaka. The WHEAT Project was initially operated by WHEAT Canada (which was an independent organization for three years, a sister organisation to the WHEAT Trust in South Africa). It has been integrated into VIDEA's Africa Program since the fall of 2006. The focus of the project continues to be supporting women's education and training initiatives in Southern Africa.
