This Darden case study emphasizes on the increasing problems of millions of HIV/AIDS orphans and the perceived demand for an innovative and creative solution to handle the psychological, social, and economical needs of vulnerable kids tipped the scales in favor of accepting sociologist Kurt Madorin's suggestion: Klaus Leisinger and Karin Schmitt of the Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development allowed Madorinto set up a pilot program in Tanzania to address the psychosocial needs of kids who had lost parents to AIDS.
This case describes the pilot program in Tanzania, Novartis's role in creating it, and-in 2001-the start of a Regional Psychosocial Support Initiative (REPSSI) to address the psychosocial problems on a wider scale. Decide which one would be the finest headquarters for REPSSI and the other organizations and the Novartis Foundation had to evaluate different states, and they had to focus on creating a strong and powerful organizational operation.
