"Tshedisanang" a Sotho word meaning 'to comfort and console', is a women's project in the heart of the Free State. It was initiated in September 2001 and falls under the umbrella of Morning Star Children's Centre, Welkom. The women benefiting from Tshedisanang, all infected/affected by HIV/AIDS themselves, are skilled in hand embroidery and beadwork and produce the most exquisite wall hangings, jewellery, table cloths, clothing, to name a few. Their work is finding ready markets in America, England, Germany, Spain and Australia. 70% of all sales go to the women, with 30% being retained for material supplies, thus ensuring project sustainability.
