working with women & children in South Africa to improve quality of life and

poverty and the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Art Aids Art is developing a variety of
literacy, health and income-generating projects to be offered at eKhaya eKasi.
We invite you to make a YEAR-END DONATION to support our ongoing

2010 Beadwork Parties
Art Aids Art's beadwork parties are an important part of our programming. They
generate income for the South African artists we represent, the majority of whom
are formerly unemployed single mothers. In addition, they raise funds for our
educational programs serving the community of Khayelitsha.
During our December, 2009 trip we developed relationships with a number of
new artists and collectives and are excited to share their work with our American
supporters. If you know an individual or group who would like to host an event,
email us!
