Wola Nani in Cape Town, South Africa, which means "we embrace and support each other", was established in 1994 as a non-profit organisation to help bring relief to the communities hardest hit by the HIV crisis.

Formed against a background of cuts in welfare spending and a huge increase in the number of HIV and AIDS cases, Wola Nani initiated programmes to help HIV+ people in the local community cope with the emotional and financial strains brought about by HIV and AIDS.

Through their income generating activities the project supports women in the production of a variety of crafts including beaded ribbons, bracelets and napkin rings, papier mache bowls and picture frames, light bulbs, tea lights and cards.
