[ AFRICAN AMBASSADOR ] Source of hope At the age of 22 Angela Larkan had a vision of hope to assist AIDS orphans. Today the world is behind her bring access to safe drinking water to people in developing countries. Larkan believes in supporting future generations and communities in Africa by developing local, sustainable solutions to care for orphans and vulnerable children and boost HIV/AIDS prevention and poverty alleviation. At the heart of Larkan’s philosophy is the uniquely African concept of Ubuntu - “I am who I am because of you” – and she works to strengthen this community bond through capability building and collaboration. She works with communities to empower people to become problem solvers so they can help one another not only to survive, but to thrive. To assist Thanda.org, Levi also now share Larkan’s story with its 7.2 million strong Facebook fanbase as well as tweeting about Larkan’s pioneering efforts. With the awareness they are creating they are planning to raise enough money to help Thanda.org bring food, education and emotional support to an additional 145 children for a full year. It is estimated that there are almost 2 million orphans living with HIV/ AIDS in South Africa and that this could rise to 5.7 million by 2015. WHILE GROWING up in KwaZulu-Natal Angela Larkan witnessed the hardships and poverty suffered by many young South Africans. She soon came to realise that the future of South Africa will be created by the next generation, but “right now, our future doctors, leaders, lawyers, and parents are fighting a battle alone against poverty and AIDS.” Believing that “everyone can be part of the solution,” Larkan, started researching orphans in KwaZulu-Natal in 2003. While graduating from Wesleyan University in the United States she wrote a thesis on the issue. After her return to South Africa in 2008 – and only 22 years old – she established the non-profit organisation Thanda.org. Through Thanda – meaning “love” in Zulu – her aim is to fight the destructive impact of HIV/AIDS and poverty on rural communities and families. Today, Larkan’s initiative supports 325 children daily while she is working to bring hope to thousands more through her innovative model for orphan care and community change. Her determination has now won her not only international recognition, but support from Levi clothing’s “Go Forth” campaign. The campaign, a global rally to create positive change in the world, creates awareness of the work of pioneering individuals to help tackle the challenges of our time. With Larkan’s success, she has become the second person to win honours with “Go Forth”, only being beaten by Hollywood star Matt Damon with his Water.org initiative to THANDA’S MODEL OF CARE Due to migrant labour, HIV/AIDS, and rural poverty, many children in southern Africa are not raised by their parents. By using local structures and available resources, Thanda’s approach enables children to receive daily support while they continue to live at home. The prototype for this model is Thanda After-School. Young role models from the community are employed to use local school buildings to create a place where children can learn, play, have fun, and receive the support they need to grow up as leaders. Students in the program receive a meal each day and participate in engaging activities provided by the local staff. These children are part of a stable support system that offers guidance, mentoring, skills development, and a way forward – every day. www.thanda.org INDWE NOVEMBER 2011 19
