Poverty and HIV/AIDS: impact of social grants among South African Indians in an Urban setting in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In South Africa poverty and HIV/AIDS is concentrated among blacks, particularly Africans. Social support grants mitigate amongst the deserving poor. There is a need to understand the impact of social grants even among the impoverished black minorities, like that of the South African Indian community in order to inform the social welfare policy. The study examines the impact of grants in the context of poverty and HIV among the South African Indian people residing in an impoverished urban informal community in Durban, South Africa.
