In response to the realisation that we face an “epidemic of Orphans” following the AIDS pandemic in South Africa, Noah, Nurturing Orphans of AIDS for Humanity, was conceptualised at the end of 2000.

Noah works at franchising community-based models of orphan care through which motivated individuals from communities are guided to set up their own community ‘Ark’; a network of accountable and synergistic support armed with the skills and confidence to care for their orphaned and vulnerable children.

Our aim is to help the staggering number of children orphaned by AIDS to mature into emotionally and psychologically stable adults capable of forming lasting and loving relationships, of being nurturing parents to their own children and responsible and participative citizens of South Africa
