With the highest HIV infection rate in South Africa, the province of KwaZulu-Natal has become actress Charlize Theron’s charitable focus.

In partnership with the Entertainment Industry Foundation, Theron created created the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project. As its first mission, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project is working in collaboration with Oprah’s Angel Network to provide lead funding to create a mobile health and computer unit designed to improve the health and social development of youth in Umkhanyakude District in South Africa. The mobile health and computer clinic is owned and operated by Mpilonhle, a community-based, non-governmental charitable organization that brings life-saving services directly to schools in the rural KwaZulu-Natal province.
