What we do
We work closely with Zambian partner organisations, Hodi, CHEP and Bwafwano to:
- Enable more than 9,500 children who have been orphaned or made vulnerable because of AIDS to go to primary and secondary school, with the same uniforms and equipment as other children, so they are not stigmatised by their situation.
- Offer training to our school-leavers each year as peer health educators, teaching other children how to stay healthy and avoid HIV
- Offer our school-leavers support to train as teachers, which equips them for a secure, government paid job. It also helps to replace some of the thousands of teachers that have been lost to AIDS in Zambia.
