The organisation was established as a project of the Zululand Chamber of Business Foundation to address the impact of HIV/AIDS in rural communities, through strengthening the capacity of communities to deal with the Aids pandemic. Amangwe Village became an independent NPO in May 2012. The organisation is currently rendering services to 28,000 people in the rural areas. The group members suffer from chronic diseases such as HIV/AIDS.TB, Cancer, Heart, Diseases, and Epilepsy etc. The organisation’s aim is to support groups to provide support to patients disclosing their HIV/AIDS status, and, also, support members not to default on treatment. This initiative is supported by Government Clinics and patients receive their treatment now at the group meetings. Clinics staff is taking the treatment to the group members during their monthly meetings.
Grant received from the Uthungulu Community Foundation assisted the Centre to purchase Gardening tools, seedlings and training manuals.
