Education for Orphans
By funding a scholarship grant, you give a child who has already suffered a serious hardship the opportunity to grow into a responsible and effective community member. Our scholarships go to orphans and vulnerable children, many from AIDS households. By giving them access to school and experiences in community service through youth group programs, their painful past experiences can become sources of strength and compassion.
Secondary School Scholarships
Cost: $350/student Location: Malawi
Cover a year of secondary school expenses for a child facing severe hardship. Your grant covers books, school materials, and transportation; uniforms and living costs will be provided as needed. You’ll receive updates on your student.

University Scholarships

Harnessing the potential of Youth Groups
Youth Groups are an effective, economical way to teach young people about subjects relevant to their lives, especially if they don’t have the time or money to attend regular school. Through volunteer programs, Youth Groups can also provide young people with the opportunity to see that they have the power to improve their communities — an experience that equips them to grow into leadership roles.
Formation of a New Youth Group
Cost: $3,000 Location: Chadika CBO, Chadika village
Your donation not only creates a new youth group with a mission to learn and then educate others about HIV and health issues, it also nurtures leadership skills and a sense of community responsibility in its youths. Located in the impoverished, rural village of Chadika.

Support an Established Youth Group
Cost: $3,000 Location: Tilerane CBO, Kang’oma village
The Kang’oma Youth Group is made up of largely uneducated boys and girls who receive ongoing education about HIV and other diseases. They then use that knowledge to educate their community about safer sex, testing for HIV, stigma and discrimination, and treatment. In just its first year, the Kang’oma Youth Group educated thousands of people about AIDS, which resulted in hundreds of villagers getting tested for HIV.
