This project is aimed to give 200 orphaned children access to public education, after school tutoring and life - skills training. Education is development. It creates choices and opportunities for children, reducing poverty and diseases, and gives them a voice in society. Investing in children's education is important to avoid the greater long term costs of not educating children and leaving them vulnerable to abuses, poverty, and a life with little hope for the future.
Extreme poverty, famine, disease and the HIV /AIDS pandemic is having a devastating impact on the youngest and most vulnerable communities of Iringa region. Orphanhood is leaving ever increasing numbers of children vulnerable, malnourished, poor and uneducated with little hope for the future. As adults die, in growing numbers, they leave increasing numbers of children behind. Education will create choices and opportunities, reducing poverty and diseases and giving them voice in a society.
The project will subsidize school fees, provide a compulsory uniform, school supplies, and attendance to an after school program. Educational tutoring and life - skills training classes will be designed to strengthern academic achievements, socialization skills and commitment to the children's education.
