 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 2010 Events and Projects:
- Primary School Project. The Temwani Children’s Foundation is rasing funds for Phase II of the newly opened PaKachele School. In addition, we will be raising funds to pay for teacher salaries, school supplies, medical supplies, and the hot breakfast and lunch program. For more information, visit our PaKachele Page.
- Braille Printer Project. To provide HIV/AIDS educational material to visually impaired students in Zambia, the Temwani Children’s Foundation is raising money to purchase a Braille printer for HIV/AIDS Infortech Africa, a nonprofit volunteer run organization in Lusaka. Donations will help 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.
- 2010 Holiday Angel Project
Look for information later this year on how 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 '11 with photos of the children helped!
We look forward to your participation in these projects!
