Church sisters offer care and hope
In response to the need to care for the rapidly growing number of children with HIV/AIDS, a community of Catholic sisters at Nazareth House in Cape Town, has embarked on a project in Khayelitsha where they have set up a day care centre for such children. The centre, Lizo Nobanda, opened its doors in July last year. Since its launch the number of children cared for has quickly risen to its capacity of 30.
