Orphans in Lesotho Need Your Help

Unfortunately this project was not successful.

Devastation caused by HIV/AIDS in Lesotho has left almost 200,000 children orphaned and at-risk of abuse. Many are cared for by impoverished, courageous grandmothers, whose own children have died of AIDS-related causes. Skillshare International is empowering these silent heroes who rescue these children, to be more equipped to support them, and to become economically self-sufficient through improved access to finance. This is being done by introducing Community Savings and Loan Schemes and a Grandmother training and support programme. The EC has pledged 70% of the funding so all we need now to make it happen is your help.
