The AIDS crisis

Analysts believe that by 2050, the AIDS pandemic will be the most important factor to have shaped humanity in this century. In South Africa – one of the most severely affected countries in the world – parents are dying before their children are grown up. This means that South Africa is, and increasingly will be, a country populated by a large number of orphans.

Our vision

Noah’s vision is to ensure that orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa have an opportunity to grow up into emotionally, psychologically and physically healthy adults.

Our mission

Noah’s mission is to empower communities with the knowledge, skills, strategies and self-confidence to care for their own orphans and vulnerable children. We do this by building Arks.

Our aim

Our vision and mission translates to a clearly defined aim. That is:

• To help the staggering number of children orphaned by AIDS to mature into emotionally and psychologically stable adults.
• To help them become capable of forming lasting and loving relationships.
• To help them become nurturing parents to their own children and responsible and participative citizens of South Africa.

Bringing joy, laughter and love to children is Noah’s goal as we prepare orphaned children for adulthood.
