More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
With the devastating economic and social impact of HIV/AIDS in Africa, traditional community support systems to protect children have eroded. Orphans are often left with challenges and responsibilities far beyond their age. Moved by their plight, local Mothers Groups help support these children. Camfed’s grants to Mothers Groups fund training and supplies to boost their income to pay children's school costs.This project funds groups in the Nkayi, Chikomba and Mt Darwin districts of Zimbabwe.
Activities
With grants, Mothers Groups can earn income by making soap, clothing, shoes, pottery and linens, or by growing vegetables and beekeeping. This income pays for school fees and supplies for orphans and other vulnerable children who cannot afford them.
