MADaboutART is a charity that exists to unite children around the world in understanding and fighting HIV and AIDS through art and education.

We provide a unique mix of innovative arts-based education and narrative therapy designed to increase children's knowledge of HIV & AIDS and create more open communication as well as reduce risk-taking behaviour by increasing self-esteem and self-advocacy.

Ultimately our aim is to reduce new HIV infections in children and young people

 

More that a hundred children come to MADaboutART each day. This year up to 600 children will complete our HIV educational programme that provides them with up-to-date, accurate information about how to protect themselves from HIV and helps them develop life skills and confidence to put this knowledge into practice

 

Each afternoon the MADaboutART centre at Masizame echoes with the sound of children warming up with 'ice-breakers', holding discussion groups, planning their next art project or community action initiative, singing, acting, playing "doing what kids do" and at the same time learning and growing stronger and making positive choices for their future
