Buy a doll, give a doll
Hello...my name is Spiwe and my sister is Shupi. Shupi is in Zimbabwe and I am in Australia. For every doll you buy, a twin doll will be given to a child in an HIV/AIDS affected family in Zimbabwe.

Each doll is approximately 19 cm tall and is hand made.
The women who make the dolls are part of the Batsiranai Craft Project in Zimbabwe and all of them have handicapped children.

Batsiranai (which in the Shona language means "helping each other")

has bought a house where the women not only do their craft work but get to learn management, business and marketing. The house also provides day care for their children.
