In Khethani, near Winterton, in the South African province of Kwazulu Natal, Sofi opened the Isibani centre in an abandoned school in August 2008.

Isibani wants to contribute to a hopeful future for South African people who are confronted with HIV and Aids. The tasks of the day centre are, among others:

• We organize training and support sessions about HIV and Aids.
• HIV positives in South Africa, who follow a training program, are entitled to free medication. They all need to have identity papers, which a lot of them don´t have. Sofi helps these sick people to obtain the necessary documents.
• To distribute HIV-medication, and to follow-up on the taking of the medication
• To take aids tests
• To organise food distribution for the poorest
• To organise temporary shelter, and to provide first aid
• To start up the baby daycare centre Kusasa in Khethani, where the youngest will get the needed hygienic care, food, attention and human warmth. As a result, their siblings can go to school instead of having to take care of the babies
• To collect clothes, and distribute them
