Little Travellers Australia Details
An initiative of the Hillcrest AIDS Trust Centre in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the Little Travellers Initiative helps people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS regain hope and dignity by getting them to use their creativity to earn an income. At present the project involves 200 crafters, and indirectly affects many more people. As the HIV/AIDS epidemic spreads, more families are turning to the Hillcrest AIDS Trust for help, and are offered training in various crafts.Little Travellers Australia was launched in 2009, under the auspice of YouthConnected Incorporated; a registered charity. The initiative has already had great success internationally, especially in Canada, and we are grateful to Ilan Schwartz (Canada), and Paula Thompson (Hillcrest) in particular for their support of the Australian arm of this global initiative. The initiative has also garnered the support of Stephen Lewis, former UN Special Envoy to Africa on HIV/AIDS, who stated, "The Little Travellers HIV/AIDS project is totally inspired. I endorse it every stitch of the way. What could be a better act of human solidarity? Buy one, buy two, buy dozens. They speak to the best of the human spirit."
