\nThe Ubuntu Project was established in 2012, in partnership with M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res (MSF \u2013 Doctors Without Borders) as a means of providing an innovative and alternative patient support programme, catering for children living with HIV and who receive anti-retroviral treatment at a clinic in Khayelitsha. The Ubuntu programme is provided once per week (on Wednesday mornings) and intends to deliver activities that create a fun environment as a base for children to play and learn like other, healthy children; to include trained and friendly instructors; to create a sense of belonging, to show that there is support available; and to deliver a positive experience that children will associate with visiting the clinic – increasing their willingness to attend clinic appointments and thereby improving treatment adherence. The presence and availability of Zip Zap\u2019s programme activities is also meant to provide a helpful support service\/ relief for parents and caregivers.<\/p>\n
