Education program for HIV/AIDS orphans
There is an urgent need to support the orphans who have lost both parents due to HIV/AIDS, attain education. These children once supported, will form base potential support in the village 5 to 10 years in the future, because they will get skills, employment, money to support their siblings, guardians and the entire village in areas of health, education, nutrition, food security, water, environment protection and training of village trainers (TOTs). There are approximately 120 orphans but will start with 40 who are badly off. We are looking for means to support these orphans, and starting a sponsorship program for selected children to be supported with school fees, school materials like books, and uniforms, is the way we would like to go.
The local community is seeking remedies to solve the plight of the orphans whose parents died of HIV/AIDS. They lack access to basic education cause they lack the necessary scholastic materials, school fees and even an accessible school. The schools around are makeshift structures that when it rains they don't attend school. The community have come together but they have no idea as yet on where to begin developing an education sponsorship program. They require assistance on doing this
