The Bantwana Initiative
Bantwana Initiative helps local communities in sub-Saharan Africa support orphaned and
vulnerable children and their caregivers.
http://bantwana.org/
More than 25 million children have been orphaned and made vulnerable in sub-Saharan
Africa by HIV, AIDS, and poverty. The Bantwana Initiative ('children' in Zulu) builds
the abilities, skills, and networks of communities to support these vulnerable children
and their families to access a range of support and comprehensive care they need to
grow into healthy adults. Bantwana's programs create access to primary health care,
nutrition, child protection, psychosocial support, education, and economic strengthening
services for children and their families.Today, Bantwana partners with more than 100
local organizations in Swaziland, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe and will offer
services to approximately 100,000 vulnerable children in 2014. Bantwana is an initiative
of World Education, Inc., a Boston-based nonprofit organization founded in 1951
to meet the needs of vulnerable and disadvantaged populations through social and
economic development programs.
