It is with deepest gratitude that we recognise the efforts of the South African organizations. Their generosity continues to improve the lives of those affected by the HIV/Aids and TB epidemic in the impoverished and largely illiterate Kwa-Ximba district of the KwaZulu-Natal region.

FIFA and UEFA have formally endorsed the project in South Africa and expressed interest in supporting the project as it evolves. With the build-up to and hosting of the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa, both organizations have an opportunity through their partnership with the project, to form a vibrant legacy for sport and education in South Africa.
As the founding donor, AstraZenecas support has been instrumental in the successful launch of the Sven Tumba Education Fund and a partnership has been formed between the two organizations. The Sven Tumba Education Fund is responsible for raising and securing funding for the project, while AstraZeneca provides the resources and support required to manage this, its first project, as well as oversee issues relating to good corporate governance. The company endorses the philosophy and values of the Sven Tumba Education Fund and will run project leadership and management, stakeholder management, communication and reporting.
