Uthando Project

Logo for Uthando Project

Since 2004 thousands of dollmakers from around the world have designed, made and sent or delivered handmade dolls for children in KwaZulu Natal (KZN), South Africa. Uthando Project works in partnership with five non government organisations (NGOs) in KwaZulu Natal. Their staff, volunteers and participants all face tough situations on a daily basis, because of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. We send dolls to all these partners, with specific doll designs to suit each NGO, as they will be using play (and sometimes the making of dolls) as a vital part of their work with children and caregivers.
