Theese small dolls are made to represent AIDS orphans and those affected by HIV/AIDS. They are intended to be a gesture of hope, a prayer of awareness and compassion. They are made by a very  rural Zulu group of women who have found great empowerment through their doll making. Colours vary slightly so please allow me to choose one for you.
