Thanda After-School is a new low-resource approach to unemployment, HIV/AIDS, and the orphan crisis in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. At our first site in rural Umtwalume, we are developing a model for academic improvement, skills development, and care in school buildings after-school, that has the potential to benefit vulnerable children all over South Africa.
"Thanda gives children something to do after school in order to keep unwanted things like smoking and using drugs out of our community."
-Nonkululeko Netball
