The Mission
The mission of the Bhekuzulu Self Sufficient Project (BSSP) is to promote health and dignity for all by providing holistic, fully integrated community-centred services for HIV infected and affected people. Beneficiaries of their services include three hundred orphaned and vulnerable children, ranging in age from infants to eighteen years old, adults living with HIV/AIDS, and community members suffering from food scarcity. BSSP is situated in the rural villages of the Imbabazane Municipality in KwaZulu Natal, where the HIV/AIDS rate is estimated at a staggering 40%. Poverty is the norm and the vast majority of residents live below the poverty line. Unemployment is 89%.
