Project Title: Remove stress and stigma to 1000 orphans in Tanzania.
Executive Summary
Effects of HIV and AIDS in Tanzania include over 940,000 orphaned children. Elimisha will provide assistance to 1000 orphaned children for their education, food and health. The assistance will be a direct support to orphaned children in 10 villages in Mbeya region Tanzania.
Total cost will be US$ 65,047.75
Goals
Orphaned children in Tanzania are stress free and live normal life.
Objective
1000 orphaned children are healthy, have regular attendance in classes and perform better in schools as those with both parents in Tanzania by 2013.
Problem Statement
The death of one or both parents due to HIV and AIDS has a bad effect that affects the orphaned children mentally due to stress and therefore making them performing poorly in classes, having perpetual hunger, and being stigmatized by other children with parents alive.
Elimisha will provide relief of stress to 1000 orphaned children in Tanzania through supporting them with school materials, uniforms, and food and school fees. If the orphaned children are given care and support they will be attending classes regularly, have good health, have no or little stress, and be capable in class.
Strategies/methodologies
Most vulnerable orphaned children will be identified and will be given support for the following:
Education: Uniforms, shoes, schoolbags, Exercise books, pens, rulers, mathematical sets, pencils and school fees.
Food: Maize flour, beans, rice, salt, cooking oil, and spices.
Health: Soap, sweaters, medical referrals.
