Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project

The goal of this outreach project is to create a safer, healthier and better life for impoverished children and their families in South Africa, especially those suffering from HIV/AIDS. The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project was created by Charlize Theron, in partnership with the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).

As its first mission, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project is working in collaboration with Oprah's Angel Network to provide lead funding to create a mobile health and computer unit designed to improve the health and social development of youth in Umkhanyakude District in South Africa.

The mobile health clinic was officially launched on November 8, 2007 at a school assembly attended by local dignitaries, representatives from Oprah's Angel Network and Ms. Theron.

Approximately 3,000 students at four high schools now receive at least one scheduled visit per year with a nurse, attend a one-hour session with an HIV counselor, complete a minimum of 4 90-minute computer training sessions, and go through 4 ninety-minute workshops on health education, with a special focus on preventing HIV. The unit visits each school — Nkosana, Silethukukhanya, Madwaleni and Nhliziyo — for one week each month.
