This NGO supports HIV positive communities by providing them with medical care, information, and working with a sustainable development model. They work with groups from 2-10 years, and eventually remove their support when the groups are financially self-efficient. Our funds would help develop programs, and would specifically go toward their orphans and vulnerable children project, buying uniforms and school supplies for children, as well as supporting other basic needs.
Furaha Orphanage – $2000
Had been supporting 23 orphans without any funding source. Our funds support basic goods like bedding, food, as well as school fees, etc.
