School Sponsorship
As of July 2021 Home For Aids Orphans with the help of international donors have sponsored over 25 students (all orphans from Mwandi Village) in Colleges throughout Zambia, in many areas incuding teaching, nursing, social studies, business and IT. Many of them have gone on to rewarding careers. This enables them to help their siblings continue their education as well as contribute to their family’s welfare. It is a gift that keeps giving. Currently there are 8 still in school, and they hope to sponsor many more, as funds allow, as this project has been a complete success.
Seniors
Kandiana is the old people’s home built on the site of Mwandi Mission. Kandiana provides shelter and attends to the basic needs of seniors who do not have families to care for them. Kandiana is partially funded by a Government Grant, the rest of the required funds comes from generous donors. Kandiana was originally a leprosy colony, which was changed to an old people’s home in the early 1980’s. It is common for volunteers to spend at least one day assisting at Kandiana while participating in the housing project.
