Art Aids Art promotes education, health, and sustainable economic development through the arts in South Africa. Founded in 2003 by educators, we serve adults and children in Khayelitsha, a township near Cape Town. Residents of Khayelitsha, a township created by the forcible relocation of Black South Africans during the apartheid regime, face a daily struggle for survival due to extreme poverty, substandard living conditions, and high rates of domestic violence and HIV/AIDS. To address these challenges, Art Aids Art established eKhaya eKasi (“Home in the ‘Hood”) Art and Education Centre. eKhaya eKasi houses several small business pilot projects, a rooftop vegetable garden, an art boutique, children’s after school activities, and an extensive children’s multicultural library. With our U.S. office based in Altadena, California, Art Aids Art’s American activities focus on educating the public about South African culture and the HIV/AIDS crisis through presentations at schools and community centers, and at home-based beadwork fundraisers. Each year, we lead an intergenerational group of volunteers to Cape Town, home of our South African headquarters, to provide services through our own programs and in collaboration with participating South African organizations.

Adelaide Hunter Hoodless Homestead is the birthplace and childhood home of one of Canada's most eminent citizens. This mid-nineteenth century Neo Gothic style homestead was built in1830 by John Bray, a veteran of the War of 1812. David and Jane Hunter, Adelaide’s parents, purchased the property in 1852 and it was owned by the Hunter family until 1906. The property was owned by various families in the first half of the 20th century until the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada purchased the Homestead in 1959. The F.W.I.C., along with the help of women’s institute groups worldwide, renovated the farm house to reflect the time period in which the Hunter family would have lived there. The furnishings within the home were donated largely by WI members. In 1995 the Historic Sites and Monument Board designated the Homestead a National Historic Site.
