HIV/AIDS in Africa: why our support is still needed
In many African countries, HIV/AIDS still has a devastating impact—not only on those who are infected, but also on the children who lose their parents as a result of the disease. Every day, children become orphaned—alone, vulnerable, and without access to education or care.
What does HIV do to children?
- They lose their parents and are often left to fend for themselves
- Many stop going to school due to lack of money
- They fall into poverty, with increased risk of exploitation or life on the street
What does our foundation do?
Watoto Yatima Foundation supports children whose parents have died from HIV/AIDS, especially in Mbeya (Tanzania), Mombasa (Kenya), Sunyani (Ghana) and Freetown (Sierra Leone). We provide:
- 🎓 School fees and access to education
- 📚 Learning materials and books
- 🍲 Support with nutrition and basic care
We don’t only give children education,
but also stability, hope and a safe place to be a child.
What can you do?
Your support makes a world of difference:
- € 50 per month gives a child access to school, books, nutrition and guidance
- € 600 per year covers a full year of education with structural support
