To provide education as cheaply as possible to local children, so they can break out of the cycle of illiteracy and poverty. At present we are forced to ask for a contribution from the families, but ideally we would be able to cover the cost of teacher’s salaries through contributions so these vulnerable children can attend school for free. All of our students are orphans or from extremely disadvantaged families. To provide food, medicine, access to information about available services and general health advice to people infected with HIV / AIDS. To improve the social and economic well being of women, especially widows and their children, through lobbying, advocacy and cooperation with local government, international organizations, other institutions and NGOs. To initiate a spirit of self-help in the community through regular meetings and seminars about income generating schemes, healthcare information, etc. motivating people to improve their lives at a grassroots level.
