This case study examines the James 1:27 Trust as an information, communication and
technology response to the plight of orphans and vulnerable children within the context of an
HIV and AIDS epidemic. The James 1:27 Trust demonstrates how social networks can be
mobilized in support of children at risk. The use of business information and management
systems to administer concepts such as “virtual adoption” is deemed an important innovative
contribution. The James 1:27 Trust and its model is studied as a contributor in finding solutions
to scale and multiply levels of care by community and faith-based organisations to orphans and
vulnerable children. The James 1:27 Trust is located at the Innovation Hub in Pretoria, Africa’s
first internationally accredited science park. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Behaviour in HIV/AIDS))
