*Temwani was formally known as the "Kondwa Children's Foundation.
 The name Temwani
means "Love."
This name encompasses the mission
of the Temwani Children's Foundation, which is to bring happiness
and hope to the lives of orphaned children and communities
impoverished by the effects of HIV/AIDS in Lusaka,
Zambia in Africa.
Almost 18% of the children in Zambia are now orphans.* On average,
these children will live to be only 34 years old. The toll
of HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty on Zambia and other African
countries is staggering, but there are many ways for individuals
to make a difference and help.
This website provides a way for you to learn about the children
we seek to support, the schools and organizations we work with, and current
projects like
the Kachele Primary School Building Project.
Also check out our 2009 Events and Projects:
- Holiday Angel Project
Give the gift of smiles this holiday season! Your donation of just $30 will give an Angel Gift of clothes, socks, a toothbrush and school supplies to a child in Zambia.
You will be sent a card in the Spring with photos of the children helped!
- Primary School Project. During the next few months, the Temwani Children’s Foundation will be raising $25,000 to construct bathrooms and showers for the new Kachele School. In addition, we will be raising funds to pay for teacher salaries, school supplies, medical supplies, and a hot breakfast and lunch program. For more information, see http://www.Temwani.org/help/projects/primaryschool.htm
- Braille Printer Project. To provide HIV/AIDS educational material to visually impaired students, the Temwani Children’s Foundation is raising money to purchase a Braille printer for a nonprofit organization in Zambia. We are looking for donors to match $3,000 in funds provided by a grant from the Tides Foundation.
- Educational Presentations. Board members of the Temwani Children’s Foundation are available to speak to professional organizations, school classrooms, and religious organizations around the country. Please contact us to request a speaker or educational materials.
We look forward to seeing you at one or more of these events!
