PHOTOS
It is part of our cooperation with the Department of Social Services not to publish any names of children who are admitted at the HOKISA Home. The children in the photos at the HOKISA Home are not all HIV positive, some are, some not – and some are just visiting children who enjoy the delightful atmosphere of the HOKISA Home.

Opening of the HOKISA Home
The planning of the HOKISA Home started by a group of representatives of the community of Masiphumelele in February 2002. The construction began on August 1, 2002 and was completed in November 2002.
The HOKISA Home – HOKISA Ikhaya Lethu – was officially opened by Archbishop Desmond Tutu on December 1st, 2002 – World AIDS Day. More than 500 guests and neighbours celebrated. The national South African TV-News reported it. For the first time ever in the history of this township two women disclosed their HIV-status openly to set an example against denial and stigmatisation.
