We Support Orphans in Southern Africa



Our aims are simple and straight from the heart:

  • To give African orphans and street kids a home.
  • To create a safe, loving and nurturing environment for these children.
  • To give them a healthy diet and a good education.
  • To release them back into the community as healthy, educated and well adjusted adults so they can play their part in the future of their own nation.
  • To help kids be happier!




Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 24 of the 25 countries with the world’s highest levels of HIV prevalence, and the fastest growing proportions and absolute numbers of orphaned children. Between 1990 and 2003, the number of children orphaned by AIDS increased from less than one million to an estimated 12.6 million. Nine out of 10 children living with HIV/AIDS are African, as are eight of every 10 children who have lost parents to AIDS.

Orphans are concentrated in certain countries, reflecting broader trends in HIV prevalence and population. In five countries in southern Africa, 15 per cent or more of orphans lost one or both parents in 2003, the large majority of them due to AIDS. Equally high numbers of children are now living with chronically ill family members and will become orphans this year.

Even without the impact of HIV/AIDS, sub-Saharan Africa already had the largest proportion of orphaned children. In 2003, 12.3 per cent (43 million) of all children in the region were orphans, nearly double the 7.3 per cent of children in Asia, and 6.2 per cent of children in Latin America and the Caribbean, who were orphans.


Botswana has the highest rate of orphaning (20%). In 11 of the 43 countries in the region, more than 15 per cent of children are orphans. Of these 11 countries, AIDS is the cause of parental death between 11 and 78 per cent of the time.


The impact of HIV/AIDS on mortality and the number of children orphaned by AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa will continue to increase through 2010. By then, more than one in five children will be orphaned in Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe.
