| Young Heroes |
Young Heroes is an innovative Internet-based project created by the Swaziland government to combat the problem of AIDS orphans. It gathers funds from sponsors to distribute to Swazi orphan children under the age of 18, but unlike other programs, their goal is to keep families together on their homesteads and in their communities. So, instead of supporting one individual child, each contributions goes towards helping the entire family meet its basic needs.
Cedza has partnered with Young Heroes to help meet the needs of AIDS orphans from the Selula Sandla orphanage. Young Heroes is making strides, but they need your help. To be a Young Heroe, please visit their website: www.youngheroes.org.sz .
Are you up for a challenge?
United World Colleges and Young Heroes invite you and your school organization to join the 2006 UWC Young Heroes Challenge. The goal: to help the AIDS orphans of Swaziland.
Tiny Swaziland has the highest rate of HIV infection in the world. Already, over 70,000 children have lost at least one parent to AIDS. Their number is growing daily. Our mission is to help the orphans by linking them with sponsors who help provide life's basic necessities, such as food and clothing.
To do that, we need your help. Schools all across America - and all over the world - are joining the Challenge by raising funds to become sponsors. We hope you'll join with them.
JOIN THE CHALLENGE IT'S EASY!
