In 2010, our 5^th anniversary year, your kindness and generosity enabled Projects of Hope to continue serving children, women, and families affected by poverty and HIV including:

-ongoing healthcare for over 50 women and children

-daily living assistance to orphans with no other support

-therapeutic services for 2 children with physical disabilities, who continue to excel

-the home-building project-with just $900, Projects of Hope student Alex, his 5 siblings, and his single mom attained the dream of a safe, secure home

-scholarships for primary, secondary, and merit-based post-secondary students, whose families otherwise could not afford schooling (on incomes of $1 or less/day)

-microfinance program-women are repaying their small loans and becoming entrepreneurs; sustaining their families through tailoring and cultivating corn

-lunch provided to Projects of Hope students 5 days a week

-uniforms and school supplies are provided to students

-annual field trip expands youth horizons (who may not have otherwise left village)

-tutoring and counseling given for extra support during school breaks

Won’t you provide your support and allow these projects to go on in 2011?
